Abstract
Image super-resolution (SR) is the process of restoration of high-resolution (HR) image from its degraded images/image. Exigency of high-quality images in different technical fields has led it to be one of the prominent research domains in the area of digital image processing. In SR process, image reconstruction from single low-resolution (LR) image is more onerous process than obtaining it from multi-LR images. Performance of single image SR (SISR) processes is increased by utilizing different image priors in form of regularization. Use of regularization in mathematical equation helps in better visualization and reconstruction of original HR image. Its implementation requires maneuver and is a very important part of the image reconstruction process. In this paper, an attempt has been made to classify the existing techniques based on the priors used. Types of image priors and regularization used so far in the field of SISR have been discussed in detailed, comprising the recent advancements in this area. It also consists of the problems and limitations of the existing image priors and regularizations.
