Bayesian methods for image super-resolution by Pickup, LC, Capel, DP, Roberts, S, Zisserman, A

“…Related Bayesian super-resolution approaches marginalize over the high-resolution image, necessitating the use of an unfavourable image prior, whereas our method allows for more realistic image prior distributions, and reduces the dimension of the integral considerably, removing the main computational bottleneck of algorithms such as Tipping and Bishop's Bayesian image super-resolution. …”
