Synonyms
Iris image enhancement by super-resolution method; Super-resolution for iris
Definition
Super-resolution is an image processing technique which takes input of a single or multiple low-resolution images and produces a single or multiple high-resolution images. By super-resolution processing, the quality of images can be enhanced and the follow-up stage of image processing (e.g., segmentation, object recognition, object tracking, or biometric identification) can achieve a higher success rate. The goal of iris super-resolution is to apply super-resolution technique in the specific domain as in iris image in order to enhance the quality of iris image. The iris image of better quality will result in a higher verification/recognition rate in iris recognition systems.
Introduction
Image resolution is a fundamental factor for the success of all kinds of image processing techniques, ranging from image segmentation, object recognition, tracking, 3D shape estimation, and reconstruction...
