Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSUPER RESOLUTION FOR EGYPTSAT-1 IMAGES WITH ERRATIC SHIFTA. H. Nasr, Gh.S. El-Tawel, A. K. HelmyThe key point of the Super-Resolution (SR) process is the accurate registration of the low resolution images, i.e., accurate measuring of the fixed shift between them, to obtain high resolution image. Due to certain malfunction, some Egyptsat-1 images have inconsistent sub-pixel shift. Therefore, in this study we propose a methodology to use this kind of shift for reconstructing a SR … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2014 · 6,938 accessesView PDFCite
