Super‐Resolution reconstruction produces one or a set of high‐resolution images from a sequence of low‐resolution frames. This article reviews a variety of Super‐Resolution methods proposed in the last 20 years, and provides some insight into, and a summary of, our recent contributions to the general Super‐Resolution problem. In the process, a detailed study of several very important aspects of Super‐Resolution, often ignored in the literature, is presented. Specifically, we discuss robustness…

This paper provides a comprehensive review of SR image and video reconstruction methods developed in the literature and highlights the future research challenges.
Numerical methods for coupled super-resolution
The process of combining, via mathematical software tools, a set of low-resolution images into a single high-resolution image is often referred to as super-resolution. Algorithms for super-resolution…
Super-Resolution Image Reconstruction Using Non-Linear Filtering Techniques
TLDR
A novel recursive method for pixel-based motion estimation is proposed, which uses recursive least mean square filtering along different scanning directions to track the stationary shifts between a pair of LR images, which results in smooth estimates of the displacements at sub-pixel accuracy.
Super-Resolution Reconstruction and Its Future Research Direction
During this decade, the enlargement in the extensive use of digital imaging technologies in consumer (e.g., digital video) and other markets (e.g. security and military) has brought with it a…

Super-resolution image reconstruction
TLDR
The SR image reconstruction method estimates an HR image with finer spectral details from multiple LR observations degraded by blur, noise, and aliasing, and the major advantage of this approach is that it may cost less and the existing LR imaging systems can still be utilized.

Robust shift and add approach to superresolution
TLDR
It is proved that additive Gaussian distribution is not a proper model for super-resolution noise and it is shown that Lp norm minimization results in a pixelwise weighted mean algorithm which requires the least possible amount of computation time and memory and produces a maximum likelihood solution.
