Medical Image Super-resolution Analysis with Sparse Representation

In this paper, we propose a novel method for Super-Resolution Medical image based sparse representation, with the aim to solve the problem of MR image resolution owing to the limitations of hardware and acquisitions. With two coupled dictionaries the sparse representation of a low resolution medical image blocks is used to generate a high resolution. Some evaluations are implemented to compare with previous method, and the proposed algorithm has its advantage on super-resolution.
