Abstract

Recently, significant research has been done in Super-Resolution (SR) methods for augmenting the spatial resolution of the Magnetic Resonance (MR) images, which aids the physician in improved disease diagnoses. Single SR methods have drawbacks; they fail to capture self-similarity in non-local patches and are not robust to noise. To exploit the non-local self-similarity and intrinsic sparsity in MR images, this paper proposes the use of Cluster-Sparse Assisted Super-Resolution. This SR method effectively captures similarity in non-locally positioned patches by training on clusters of patches using a self-adaptive dictionary. This method of training also leads to better edge and texture detection. Experiments show that using Cluster-Sparse Assisted Super-Resolution for brain MR images results in enhanced detection of lesions leading to better diagnosis.
