摘要

The problem of recover mu a high-resolution frame from a sequence of low-resolution frames is considered In general. video frames cannot be related through global parametric transformation due to the arbitrary Individual pixel movement between frame pairs To overcome this problem, we propose to employ region-matching technique for motion estimation with a modified model for frame alignment To do that, the reference frame is segmented into arbitrary-shaped regions which are further matched with that of the other frames Then, the frame alignment is accomplished by optimizing the cost Junction that consists of L-1-norm of the difference between the Interpolated low-resolution (LR) frames and the simulated LR frames The experimental results demonstrate that using region matching in motion estimation step with the modified alignment model works better than other motion models such as affine, block matching. and optical flow motion models
