  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a super-resolution algorithm using an adaptive weighted interpolation(AWI) and discrete wavelet transform(DWT). In general, super-resolution algorithms for single-image, probability based operations have been used for searching high-frequency components. Consequently, the complexity of the algorithm is increased and it causes the increase of processing time. In the proposed algorithm, we first find high-frequency sub-bands by using DWT. Then we apply an AWI to the obtained high-frequency sub-bands to make them have the same size as the input image. Now, the interpolated high-frequency sub-bands and input image are properly combined and perform the inverse DWT. For the experiments, we use the down-sampled version of the original image(512x512) as a test image(256x256). Through experiment, we confirm the improved efficiency of the proposed algorithm comparing with interpolation algorithms and also save the processing time comparing with the probability based algorithms even with the similar performance.
