CCR: Clustering and Collaborative Representation

for Fast Single Image Super-Resolution

ABSTRACT

Clustering and collaborative representation (CCR) have recently been used in fast single
image super-resolution (SR). In this paper, we propose an effective and fast single image
super-resolution (SR) algorithm by combining clustering and collaborative representation. In
particular, we first cluster the feature space of low-resolution (LR) images into multiple LR
feature subspaces and group the corresponding high-resolution (HR) feature subspaces. The
local geometry property learned from the clustering process is used to collect numerous
neighbour LR and HR feature subsets from the whole feature spaces for each cluster centre.
Multiple projection matrices are then computed via collaborative representation to map LR
feature subspaces to HR.

INTRODUCTION

Single image super-resolution (SR), an important and classical problem in image processing
and computer vision, aims at restoring a high-resolution (HR) image from its degraded low-
resolution (LR) measurement, while minimizing visual artefacts as far as possible. SR is a
typical ill-posed inverse problem since a multiplicity of solutions exist for any input LR pixel
To mitigate and deal with such a problem, most of SR methods constrain the solution with
strong prior information, which can be obtained by learning from a set of training data, using
various regularization methods, and assuming a certain distribution of image features.

EXISTING SYSTEM

Classical parametric image processing methods rely on a specific model of the signal
of interest and seek to compute the parameters of this model in the presence of noise.
Examples of this approach are presented in diverse problems ranging from denoising to up
scaling and interpolation. A generative model based upon the estimated parameters is then
produced as the best estimate of the underlying signal.
In addition to kernel regression methods we are advocating, there are several other
effective regression methods such as B-spline interpolation, orthogonal series, cubic spline
interpolation, and spline smoother. We briefly review some of these methods in this section.
PRAPOSED SYSTEM

In this section, we first present how to extract two pools of LR/HR feature sets from a
training image set and cluster them into numerous subspaces. We then use the clustered
feature subspaces to group neighbour features, followed by computing multiple projection
matrices. Finally, the CCR-based SR algorithm is outlined. In the following discussion, we
denote IL/H , pL/H , and yL/H as an LR/HR image, patch, and feature, respectively. c and F
denote a cluster center in the LR feature space and its corresponding projection matrix. Bold
lowercase letters denote vectors. Bold uppercase letters denote regular matrices. Plain
lowercase letters are used as scalars.
According to, simple functions mapping from LR feature space to HR feature space can be
learned for fast SR when abundant and effective exemplars are available in the training
phase.
