Image and Signal Denoising Methods

To improve the spatial resolution of low resolution image with Gaussian blur and Pepper & salt noise, a blind single-image super resolution reconstruction method is proposed. In the low resolution imaging model, the Gaussian blur, down-sampling, as well as Pepper & Salt noise are all considered. Firstly, the Pepper & Salt noise in the low resolution image is reduced through median filtering method. Then, the Gaussian blur of the de-noised image is estimated through error-parameter analysis method. Finally, super resolution reconstruction is carried out through iterative back projection algorithm. Experimental results show that the Gaussian blur is estimated with high accuracy, and the Pepper & Salt noise are removed effectively. The visual effect and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the super resolution reconstructed image is improved. In addition, the importance of Gaussian blur in single-image super resolution reconstruction is justified in an experimental way.
