Image super-resolution via feature-augmented random forest

作者:

Highlights:

• Recent random-forest (RF)-based image super-resolution approaches inherit some properties from dictionary-learning-based algorithms, but the effectiveness of the features working in RF is overlooked in the literature.

• In this paper, we present a novel feature-augmented random forest (FARF) method for image super-resolution, where the non-linear gradient magnitudes are proposed to augment the features used in RF, generalized locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) is used to replace principal component analysis (PCA) for feature dimensionality, and different feature recipes are formulated on different processing stages in an RF.
