Radial basis function neural network based super-resolution restoration for an undersampled image

To achieve restoration of high frequency information for an undersampled and degraded low-resolution image, a nonlinear and real-time processing method-the radial basis function (RBF) neural network based super-resolution method of restoration is proposed. The RBF network configuration and processing method is suitable for a high resolution restoration from an undersampled low-resolution image. The soft-competition learning scheme based on the k-means algorithm is used, and can achieve higher mapping approximation accuracy without increase in the network size. Experiments showed that the proposed algorithm can achieve a super-resolution restored image from an undersampled and degraded low-resolution image, and requires a shorter training time when compared with the multiplayer perception (MLP) network.
