Abstract

Image resolution enhancement in wavelet domain has been one of the most active research areas in image processing. Many methods and techniques, based on wavelet transformation have been proposed in last couple of years. In this paper, we present a review on the state-of-the-art techniques for wavelet based image resolution enhancement. We summarize them with enhancement ability in peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and give comments on their performance. In addition, through our review, we have found some essential criteria and issues related to performance assessment of different resolution enhancement techniques. Our experimental results have proved the significance of these issues. Future directions for image resolution enhancement research are stated at the end.
