Abstract:
1. An apparatus to obtain a high resolution image, the apparatus comprising: a processor; a region dividing unit to divide an input image frame into a background region and a foreground region based on motion information of the input image frame; a first image frame obtaining unit to obtain a first high resolution image frame with respect to the background region, using a reconstruction-based resolution enhancement algorithm based on a reconstruction; a second image frame obtaining unit to obtain a second high resolution image frame with respect to the foreground region, using an example-based resolution enhancement algorithm based on a wavelet-transform; and an image frame compositing unit to composite the first high resolution image frame and the second high resolution image frame to obtain a high resolution image frame with respect to the input image frame, wherein at least one of the region dividing unit, first image frame obtaining unit, second image frame obtaining unit, and image frame compositing unit use the processor to obtain the first high resolution image frame, to obtain the second high resolution image frame, or to composite the first high resolution image frame and the second high resolution image frame.
