Kernel Regression-Based Image Processing ToolBox for MATLAB
 
 

Summary

Kernel Regression-Based Image Processing ToolBox is a command-line based software package for MATLAB, which was developed at MDSP research laboratory in UCSC. The package is capable of performing several general image processing tasks; for instance,

  1. Image denoising
    • Gaussian noise removal
    • Compression artifact reduction
    • Film grain reduction
    • Salt & pepper noise reduction
  2. Image reconstruction (interpolation + denoising)
    • Image upscale (reconstruction an image from regularly sampled data set)
    • Image reconstruction from an irregularly sampled data set
    • Image fusion
    • Super-resolution

We are demonstrating examples in here.
