Abstract:

This talk will focus on the physical and computation limitation on
reconstruction based super-resolution. I will address the reasons why
super-resolution in real-world applications does not preforms as well as
expected and will describe ways to address some of the limitations. The
proposed system has a potential of achieving a magnification factor of x8
or slightly more, sufficient to turn a one megapixel camera into a 64
megapixels camera via super-resolution (for static scenes).


Biography:

Moshe Ben-Ezra received the BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in computer science 
from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1994, 1996, and 2000, 
respectively. He was a research scientist at Columbia University from 2002 
until 2004 and a member of technical staff at Siemens Corporate research 
from 2005 until 2007. Since 2007 he is with Microsoft Research Asia at 
Beijing. His research interests are in computer vision with an emphasis on 
hardware and optics.
