A deblurring model for super-resolution MRI interpolated images

Abstract

In the up-sampling process may occur effects like aliasing, blurring or noise addition which mainly affect the edges of the images. For those reasons is necessary to choose a method that preserves images quality so that these problems are minimized. In this paper, we present an alternative method to restore blurred images using linear programming to solve a minimization problem stated in the L₁ norm. The model requires the blurred image and some prior knowledge about the blurring function type (Point spread function). In the proposed method we obtain a PSNR of 30 dB overcoming a classic bi-linear method by 4 dB in a set of thirty images from a cardiac MRI data set.
