Abstract
The invention relates to a method for generating super-resolution images using a processing device, the method includes: oversampling an input image to generate an oversampled image; modifying the pixel value of a first pixel of the oversampled image by: generating a similarity value for each one of a plurality of candidate pixels in the input image and/or in one or more other input images, candidate pixels being selected based on the position of the first pixel in the oversampled image, similarity value being generated by evaluating the similarity of a group of pixels adjacent to each of the candidate pixels to a group of pixels adjacent to the first pixel; selecting a first subset of candidate pixels on the basis of similarity values, and generating the modified pixel value of the first pixel based on the pixel values and on the similarity values of the first subset of candidate pixels.
