In this paper we investigate a low-cost signal processing alternative to optical zooming synthetic zooming by super-resolution SR techniques. Synthetic zooming is achieved by registering a sequence of low-resolution LR images acquired at varying focal lengths and reconstructing the SR image at a larger focal length or increased spatial resolution. Under the assumptions of constant scene depth and zooming speed we argue that the motion trajectories of all physical points are related to each other by a unique vanishing point and present a robust technique for estimating its 3D coordinate. Such a line-geometry-based registration is the foundation of SR for synthetic zooming. We address the issue of data inconsistency arising from the varying focal length of optical lens during the zooming process. To overcome the difficulty of data inconsistency we propose a two-stage Delaunay-triangulation-based interpolation for fusing the LR image data. We also present a PDE-based nonlinear deblurring to accommodate the blindness and variation of sensor point spread functions. Simulation results with real-world images have verified the effectiveness of the proposed SR techniques for synthetic zooming. Copyright 2006 Xin Li.
