Abstract:
This paper addresses the issue of generating a high-resolution(HR) image from single low quality or low-resolution(LR) image. In this work, Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used with the Stationary wavelet transform (SWT) to generate or increase the resolution of the image. SWT reduces the translation invariance presence in DWT. To preserve the edges Canny edge extraction is used to get the sharper image. To interpolate the image into the intermediary stage of proposed algorithm Lanczos interpolation is used and to reduce the artifacts introduced by the DWT Non-local mean(NLM) filter has been used. The experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm gives good results based on image quality parameters as compared with the state-of-the-art works in super resolution (SR) process.
