Bayesian combination of sparse and non-sparse priors in image super resolution [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In this paper the application of image prior combinations to the Bayesian Super Resolution (SR) image registration and reconstruction problem is studied. Two sparse image priors, a Total Variation (TV) prior and a prior based on the ℓ1 norm of horizontal and vertical first-order differences (f.o.d.), are combined with a non-sparse Simultaneous Auto Regressive (SAR) prior. Since, for a given observation model, each prior produces a different posterior distribution of the underlying High Resolution (HR) image, the use of variational approximation will produce as many posterior approximations as priors we want to combine. A unique approximation is obtained here by finding the distribution on the HR image given the observations that minimizes a linear convex combination of Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergences. We find this distribution in closed form. The estimated HR images are compared with the ones obtained by other SR reconstruction methods. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
