cost_prior_xsq

default_camera

supreme.resolve.default_camera(img_nr, img, H, scale, oshape, std=1.0, _coords=[])

The default camera model simply blurs and downscales the image.

Parameters:

img_nr : int

The number of this image in the set. Useful for storing image-specific parameters, such as coordinates.

img : ndarray

High-resolution image data.

H : (3,3) ndarray

Transformation matrix to apply to img.

oshape : tuple of ints

Output shape.

std : float

Standard deviation of the blur mask.

_coords : ndarray

Coordinates suitable for use in ndimage.map_coordinates.

initial_guess_avg

supreme.resolve.initial_guess_avg(images, tf_matrices, scale, oshape)

From the given low-resolution images and transforms, make an initial guess of the high-resolution image.

Parameters:

images : list of ndarray

Low-resolution images.

tf_matrices : list of (3, 3) ndarray

Transformation matrices that warp the images to the reference image (usually images[0]).

scale : float

The scale of the high-resolution reconstruction relative to the low-resolution frames. Typically between 1 and 2.

oshape : tuple of int

Shape of the high-resolution reconstruction.

iresolve

supreme.resolve.iresolve(images, tf_matrices, scale=1.3, initial_guess=<function initial_guess_avg at 0x1067ea230>, initial_guess_args={}, camera=None, camera_args={}, cost_measure=None, cost_args={})

Super-resolve a set of low-resolution images.

Parameters:

images : list of ndarrays

Low-resolution input frames.

tf_matrices : list of (3, 3) ndarrays

List of transformation matrices to transform each low-resolution frame to a reference image (typically, images[0]).

scale : float

Resolution improvement required.

initial_guess : callable, f(imgs, Hs, scale, oshape, **initial_guess_args)

Function that calculates an initial estimate of the high-resolution image for initialising the iterative process. If not specified, initial_guess_avg is used. See initial_guess_avg for more information.

initial_guess_args : dict, optional

Optional keyword arguments for initial_guess.

camera : callable, f(nr, img, H, scale, oshape, **camera_args), optional

Function that emulates the effect of the camera on a high-resolution frame. See the docstring of default_camera for more detail. If not specified, default_camera is used.

camera_args : dict, optional

Optional keyword arguments for camera.

cost_measure : callable, f(nr, x, y, **cost_args)

Function that calculates the difference between two low-resolution frames. If not specified, cost_squared_error is used.

cost_args : dict, optional

Optional keyword arguments for cost_measure.

Returns:

out : ndarray

Super-resolved image.

solve

supreme.resolve.solve(images, tf_matrices, scale, x0=None, tol=1e-10, iter_lim=None, damp=0.10000000000000001, method='CG', operator='bilinear')

Super-resolve a set of low-resolution images by solving a large, sparse set of linear equations.

This method approximates the camera with a downsampling operator, using bilinear interpolation. The LSQR method is used to solve the equation A\mathbf{x} = b where A is the downsampling operator, \mathbf{x} is the high-resolution estimate (flattened in raster scan or lexicographic order), and \mathbf{b} is a stacked vector of all the low-resolution images.

Parameters:

images : list of ndarrays

Low-resolution input frames.

tf_matrices : list of (3, 3) ndarrays

Transformation matrices that relate all low-resolution frames to a reference low-resolution frame (usually images[0]).

scale : float

The resolution of the output image is scale times the resolution of the input images.

x0 : ndarray, optional

Initial guess of HR image.

damp : float, optional

If an initial guess is provided, damp specifies how much that estimate is weighed in the entire process. A larger value of damp results in a solution closer to x0, whereas a smaller version of damp yields a solution closer to the solution obtained without any initial estimate.

method : {‘CG’, ‘LSQR’, ‘descent’}

Whether to use conjugate gradients, least-squares or gradient descent to determine the solution.

operator : {‘bilinear’, ‘polygon’}

The camera model is approximated as an interpolation process. The polygon interpolation operator works well for zoom ratios < 2.

Returns:

HR : ndarray

High-resolution estimate.
