A novel method that is totally based on the single input image itself is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a local-feature based interpolation method where both edge pixel property and location information are taken into consideration is presented to obtain a better initialization. Then, a dynamic lightweight database of self-examples is built with the aid of our in-depth study on self-similarity, from which adaptive linear regressions are learned to directly map the low-resolution patch into its high-resolution version. Furthermore, a gradually upscaling strategy accompanied by iterative optimization is employed to enhance the consistency at each step.Even without any external information, extensive experimental comparisons with state-of-the-art methods on standard benchmarks demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed scheme in both visual effect and objective evaluation.展开更多

For images with rich texture, most of the existing image smoothing methods are difficult to obtain significant texture removal performance because texture containing obvious edges and large gradient changes is easy to be preserved as the main edges. In this paper, we propose a novel framework （DSHFG） for image smoothing combined with the constraint of sparse high frequency gradient for texture images. First, we decompose the image into two components： a smooth component （constant component） and a non-smooth （high frequency） component. Second, we remove the non-smooth component containing high frequency gradient and smooth the other component combining with the constraint of sparse high frequency gradient. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed method is more competitive on efficiently texture removing than the state-of-the-art methods. What is more, our approach has a variety of applications including edge detection, detail magnification, image abstraction, and image composition.展开更多
