Single depth image super-resolution with multiple residual dictionary learning and refinement
Learning-based image super-resolution methods often use large datasets to learn texture features. When these methods are applied to depth images, emphasis should be given on learning the geometrical structures at object boundaries, since depth images do not have much texture information. In this paper, we develop a scheme to learn multiple residual dictionaries from only one external image. After depth image super-resolution, some artifacts may appear. An adaptive depth map refinement method is then proposed to remove these artifacts along the depth edges, based on the shape-adaptive weighted median filtering method. Experimental results demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method over many other methods.
