Single-Image Super-Resolution Using Panchromatic Gradient Prior and Variational Model

Algorithm 1

Algorithm 1A variational approach for single-image SR.
(i)Input:
 The LR image ;
 Magnification factor.
Output:
 The SR image .
Initialization:
 Compute an initial SR image via bicubic
 interpolation;
 Calculate the target gradient via equation (7).
For:
For:
  1. For each extracted image patch , search
   for a set of similar patches across the whole
   image by patch matching.
  2. Decompose the grouped patches into low-rank
   and sparse components.
   (a) Calculate the sparse matrix via (13);
   (b) Calculate the low-rank matrix via (15).
  3. Reconstruct the SR image .
   (a) Update the image via (25);
   (b) Update the intermediate variable and via (18) and (22);
   (c) Update the Lagrange multiplier and via (19) and (23);
   (d)  =  ;
