A Coupled Feature-Filter Clustering Scheme for Resolution Synthesis

For many digital image/video processing applications increasing the spatial resolution through modifications in the imaging system is infeasible. Hence post-processing algorithms designed to enhance resolution of the acquired image data prove beneficial. In this paper, we analyze recent work on classification based resolution enhancement and discuss its applicability to low-complexity display systems. In the light of our observations we point out certain short-comings of resolution synthesis and propose a modified training scheme to improve the performance under certain conditions.
