From the reviews: "The authors introduce us to motionless or motion-free methods for super-resolution in this book. ... is written clearly, and presents its core topics in well-organized chapters. ... The basic theory of each chapter is clearly presented, and is developed in a step-by-step fashion that makes it easy to follow. This will be a good starting point for researchers who want to get involve in image super-resolution. I believe experienced researchers will also find this book useful for seeing the overall picture of the super-resolution problem." (Fatih Kurugollu, Computing Reviews, November, 2005)
Motion-Free Super-Resolution is a compilation of very recent work on various methods of generating super-resolution (SR) images from a set of low-resolution images.
With the explosion of Internet technology and graphics engines, digital images are now everywhere. Image capturing tools are all pervading - in our pockets to inside a satellite. And although imaging applications demand an availability to high resolution images, such images are not picture perfect and may be lacking sufficient details. This requires that these images be super-resolved for improved details. How to achieve this is what constitutes research in the area of image super-resolution.
Motion-Free Super-Resolution explores new technology for image super-resolution - applying cues other than the motion cue in super-resolving a scene. This book will serve as an essential reference for both academecians and practicing engineers in the area of image processing and computer vision, as well as providing a basis for ongoing research in this field.
