Abstract
Super
-
resolution (SR) is the process of obtaining a high resolution (HR) image or
a sequence of HR images from a set of low resolution (LR) observations.
The block
matching algorithms used for motion estimation
to obtain motion vectors between the
frames
in Super
-
resolution. The implementation and comparison of two different types of
block matching algorithms viz. Exhaustive Search (ES) and Spiral Search (SS) are
discussed.
Advantages of each algorithm are given in terms of motion estimation
computational
complexity and Peak
Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR). The Spiral Search
algorithm achieves PSNR close to that of Exhaustive Search at less computation time than that of Exhaustive Search.
The algorithms that are evaluated in this paper are widely used
in video super -resolution and also have been used in implementing various video standards
like H.263, MPEG4, H.264
