Resolution enhancement of video sequences with simultaneous estimation of the regularization parameters

In this paper, we extend our previous resolution enhancement results by proposing a technique for the estimation of the regularization parameter based on the assumption that it should satisfy the following properties: It should be a function of the regularized noise power of the data and its choice should yield a convex functional whose minimization would give the desired high-resolution image. Experimental results are presented and conclusions are drawn.
