Abstract
An advanced SRIE (super-resolution image enhancement) process has been developed for improving image resolution, for enhancing image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast, as well as for correcting image blur and distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence. The SRIE process is composed of five sub-processes: 1) over-sampling process, 2) image registration process, 3) image averaging process, 4) high-pass filtering process, and 5) histogram-equalization process. These five sub-processes are discussed in detail in this paper. Performance of SRIE process was tested using a long wave infrared (LWIR) imagery and charge-coupled device (CCD) camera video imagery.
