  Call for Papers

The recent increase in the wide use of digital imaging technologies
in consumer (e.g., digital video) and other markets 
(e.g., security and military) has brought with it a simultaneous 
demand for higher-resolution images. The demand for such 
high-resolution (HR) images can be met by algorithmic advances in 
super-resolution (SR) technology in place of^×or in tandem 
with^×hardware development. Such HR images not only give the viewer 
a more pleasing picture but also offer additional details that are 
important for subsequent analysis in many applications.

The current approach to obtaining HR images mainly relies on sensor 
manufacturing technology that attempts to increase the number of 
pixels per unit area by reducing the pixel size. However, the cost 
for high-precision optics and sensors may be prohibitive for general
purpose commercial applications, and there is a limitation to pixel 
size reduction due to shot noise encountered in the sensor itself. 
Therefore, a resolution enhancement (super-resolution) approach 
using computational, mathematical, and statistical techniques has 
received a great deal of attention recently. The relevant signal 
processing technology for this SR approach to high-quality imaging 
is the topic of this special issue.

The scope of techniques intended to overcome the above limitations 
that will be covered in this special issue will include: enhancement
in spatial resolution for both gray-scale and color images and 
video, suppression of signal dependent noise, and various other 
associated artifacts.

Because of the recent emergence of many key relevant computational, 
mathematical, and statistical techniques, and the increasing
importance of digital imaging technology, a special issue of the
EURASIP JASP dedicated to the topic of SR imaging is quite timely.

A more detailed list of SR imaging topics of interest include
(but are not limited to):

0 Multiframe/multichannel direct and blind deconvolution in SR 
0 Subpixel motion estimation 
0 SR in time and dynamic range, etc 
0 Artifact analysis of sensors and optics 
0 Video-to-video SR imaging 
0 Multiframe demosaicing and SR imaging 
0 Wavelet-based methods for SR imaging 
0 PDE-based methods for SR imaging 
0 Locally adaptive image interpolation 
0 SR in medical, astronomical, security/surveillance, and other applications
