Paired-image enhancement for smartphone cameras

This project aims to develop enhancement techniques for high-resolution imaging on smartphone devices. The project will focus on a specific imaging modality where a pair of images are captured in succession: a high-resolution image (108 mega-pixel) and a corresponding low-resolution image (12 mega-pixel). Due to the small pixel size in the sensor used to capture the high-resolution image, the high-resolution image contains significantly more noise than the low-resolution image. Currently, the noise of the high-resolution camera makes images captured in low-light scenes visually unacceptable. This project aims to leverage the information in the pair of images to produce a high-quality, high-resolution image.
