Image Super-Resolution and Applications

Image Super-Resolution and Applications

This book is devoted to the issue of image super-resolution—obtaining high-resolution images from single or multiple low-resolution images. Although there are numerous algorithms available for image interpolation and super-resolution there’s been a need for a book that establishes a common thread between the two processes. Filling this need Image Super-Resolution and Applications presents image interpolation as a building block in the super-resolution reconstruction process. Instead of approaching image interpolation as either a polynomial-based problem or an inverse problem this book breaks the mold and compares and contrasts the two approaches. It presents two directions for image super-resolution: super-resolution with a priori information and blind super-resolution reconstruction of images. It also devotes chapters to the two complementary steps used to obtain high-resolution images: image registration and image fusion. Details techniques for color image interpolation and interpolation for pattern recognitionAnalyzes image interpolation as an inverse problemPresents image registration methodologies Considers image fusion and its application in image super resolutionIncludes simulation experiments along with the required MATLAB® codeSupplying complete coverage of image-super resolution and its applications the book illustrates applications for image interpolation and super-resolution in medical and satellite image processing. It uses MATLAB® programs to present various techniques including polynomial image interpolation and adaptive polynomial image interpolation. MATLAB codes for most of the simulation experiments supplied in the book are included in the appendix.

Non-Linear Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems

Non-Linear Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems

Non-Linear Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems is the second book within Ordinary Differential Equations with Applications to Trajectories and Vibrations Six-volume Set. As a set they are the fourth volume in the series Mathematics and Physics Applied to Science and Technology. This second book consists of two chapters (chapters 3 and 4 of the set). The first chapter considers non-linear differential equations of first order including variable coefficients. A first-order differential equation is equivalent to a first-order differential in two variables. The differentials of order higher than the first and with more than two variables are also considered. The applications include the representation of vector fields by potentials. The second chapter in the book starts with linear oscillators with coefficients varying with time including parametric resonance. It proceeds to non-linear oscillators including non-linear resonance amplitude jumps and hysteresis. The non-linear restoring and friction forces also apply to electromechanical dynamos. These are examples of dynamical systems with bifurcations that may lead to chaotic motions. Presents general first-order differential equations including non-linear like the Ricatti equationDiscusses differentials of the first or higher order in two or more variablesIncludes discretization of differential equations as finite difference equationsDescribes parametric resonance of linear time dependent oscillators specified by the Mathieu functions and other methodsExamines non-linear oscillations and damping of dynamical systems including bifurcations and chaotic motions
