Abstract

In this paper, we augment multi-frame super-resolution with the concept of guided filtering for simultaneous upsampling of 3-D range data and complementary photometric information in hybrid range imaging. Our guided super-resolution algorithm is formulated as joint maximum a-posteriori estimation to reconstruct high-resolution range and photometric data. In order to exploit local correlations between both modalities, guided filtering is employed for regularization of the proposed joint energy function. For fast and robust image reconstruction, we employ iteratively re-weighted least square minimization embedded into a cyclic coordinate descent scheme. The proposed method was evaluated on synthetic datasets and real range data acquired with Microsoft’s Kinect. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art range super-resolution algorithms while it also provides super-resolved photometric data.
