Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional super-resolution method based on the neighborhood embedding algorithm has the following problems: 1) The first-order gradient and second-order gradient feature extraction methods can only represent features in the horizontal and vertical directions, and cannot better represent image blocks, which will cause The filtered neighborhood is inaccurate; 2) Due to the inaccuracy of feature extraction, the mapping between low-resolution image blocks and high-resolution image blocks is not a one-to-one linear mapping; 3) Euclidean distance is used to strictly find fixed Linear embedding of k-nearest neighbors can easily lead to under-fitting or over-fitting, and noise samples or external interference samples cannot be excluded when finding the nearest neighbors; , when the size of the training set is large, the algorithm is time-consuming
In summary, the traditional neighborhood embedding super-resolution method is inaccurate in the neighborhood selected by feature representation, searching for k-nearest neighbors cannot exclude noise samples or external interference samples, and calculating reconstruction weights can easily lead to underfitting or overfitting and The algorithm is time-consuming and has some shortcomings

Abstract

The invention discloses a NormLV feature based low-rank sparse neighborhood-embedded super-resolution method. The method includes: firstly, structuring NormLV features to subject a neighborhood embedding algorithm to feature enhancement, and selecting neighbors through the features; secondly, grouping training sets to obtain an index set; thirdly, utilizing low-rank sparse neighborhood-embedding algorithm to calculate a weight matrix; fourthly, subjecting the weight matrix to normalization; fifthly, performing linear combination to obtain high-resolution image blocks; sixthly, fusing the high-resolution image blocks to obtain initial high-resolution images; finally combining priori and global constraints of consistency, and utilizing TV and IBP algorithms to further improve quality of high-resolution image reconstruction. Sparse representation and the neighborhood embedding algorithm are combined, and the technical problem that super-resolution reconstruction quality is affected by inconsistency of low-resolution image and high-resolution image neighborhood relations is solved. Clearer and richer texture details and image edges can be restored by the acquired high-resolution images, and the method has better visual effect as compared with other methods.
