Abstract
A system and method for providing a high resolution texture within an image, comprising means to receive texture information contained within a low resolution image and to generate at least a first and a second signal based on the received texture information, wherein the first signal comprises high frequency parts of the received texture information, means to resynthesize the first signal by inserting a plurality of parts of the low resolution image into the high resolution image in an appropriate combination, means to interpolate the second generated signal and means to combine the resynthesized first signal with the interpolated second signal.

System for providing a high resolution texture within an image, comprising
- means to receive texture information contained within a low resolution image and to generate at least a first and a second signal based on the received texture information,
- wherein the first signal comprises high frequency parts of the received texture information,
- means to resynthesize the first signal by inserting a plurality of parts of the low resolution image into the high resolution image in an appropriate combination,
- means to interpolate the second generated signal and
- means to combine the resynthesized first signal with the interpolated second signal.
Method for providing a high resolution texture within an image, comprising the steps of
- receiving texture information contained within a low resolution image,
- generating at least a first and a second signal based on the received texture information, wherein the first signal comprises high frequency parts of the received texture information,
- resynthesizing the first signal by inserting a plurality of parts of the low resolution image into the high resolution image in an appropriate combination,
- interpolating the second generated signal and
- combining the resynthesized first signal with the interpolated second signal.
A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a computer program product which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform the steps of:
- receiving texture information contained within a low resolution image,
- generating at least a first and a second signal based on the received texture information, wherein the first signal comprises high frequency parts of the received texture information,
- resynthesizing the first signal by inserting a plurality of parts of the low resolution image into the high resolution image in an appropriate combination,
- interpolating the second generated signal and
- combining the resynthesized first signal with the interpolated second signal.
System for processing an image sequence containing texture information, comprising
- means to receive a first low resolution image and subsequent second low resolution image,
- means to analyze the two images to detect an identical texture part within the two subsequent images and to determine the motion characteristics of the texture part,
- means to provide the first image with a high resolution containing said texture part with high resolution and
- means to generate the second image with a high resolution thereby inserting the high resolution texture part of the first image into the high resolution second image dependent on said motion characteristics.
