A fast algorithm of video super-resolution using dimensionality reduction by DCT and example selection

In this paper, we propose a novel learning-based video super resolution algorithm with less memory requirements and computational cost. To this end, we adopt discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients for feature vector components. Moreover, we design an example selection procedure to construct a compact database. We conducted evaluative experiments using MPEG test sequences to synthesize a high resolution video. Experimental results show that our method can improve effectiveness of super-resolution algorithm, while preserving the quality of synthesized image.
