RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT BY FORWARD-AND-BACKWARD NONLINEAR DIFFUSION PROCESSES

A resolution enhancement scheme is presented. It consists of interpolation followed by processing with an adaptive nonlinear forward-and-backwarddi usion process that enhances edges while suppressing interpolation ringings and denoising smooth areas. keywords: super-resolution, image interpolation, anisotropic di usion, image enhancement, scale-space.
