Experimental Evaluation of Super-Resolution Technique in Satellite Images Based on a Camera Prototype Implementation

Authors

Abstract

Generating and processing of spatial data for positioning of critical facilities increase the passive defence capability and security index, while decreasing the effects of possible attacks, significantly. Nowadays, accessing to satellite images with higher resolutions, due to the more accurate results, is an attractive issue in the field of defence systems. In this paper, a pushbroom imaging system has been implemented which is capable of receiving commands, storing and reloading images. The scanning-based camera plus an improved super-resolution algorithm will result in an output super-resolved image, in comparison with initial input. The proposed algorithm which incorporates less erroneous frames in the reconstruction process has been applied on the real-world camera outputs. Visual evaluation, the Q-Metric and CPBD factors show that the performance of our algorithm is better than the other methods.
