Generation of a Super-Resolved Stereo Video Using Two Synchronized Videos with Different Magnifications

In this paper, we address the problem of changing the optical zoom magnification of stereo video that uses a stereo camera system with 4K or 8K digital cameras. We proposes a solution for generating a zoomed stereo video from a pair of zoomed and non-zoomed videos. To achieve this, part of the non-zoomed video image is isolated and super-resolved, so that the resolution of the image becomes the same as that of the optically-zoomed image. The non-zoomed video is super-resolved by energy minimization using the optically-zoomed image as an example. The effectiveness of this method is validated through experiments.
