3.  For the last few decades, many image interpolation algorithms have been developed to display high quality scaled images on cutting-edge digital consumer application such as HDTV,DSC.  Traditional interpolation methods usually suffer from several types of visual degradation.  To overcome the problem, many algorithms are proposed. But there are many problem.(Ex. structurally weak against textures, computational complexity) I NTRODUCTION 3

4.  Brandi et al. presented an interesting SR approach.  They defined the so-called key frames (KF) that sparsely exist in a video sequence and have HR resolution. The remaining frames in the video sequence, i.e., non-key frames(NKF) had LR resolution  Brandi et al. took advantage of the fact that few KF (encoded at HR) may provide enough HF information to the up-scale NKF (encoded at LR)  However, it rarely found true motion information because it made use of the conventional full-search motion estimation.  This paper presents a hybrid SR algorithm where each LR patch is adaptively selected between a temporally super-resolved patch and a spatially super-resolved patch using adjacent HR KFs.  Temporally super-resolved patch  MSR  Spatially super-resolved patch  LSR I NTRODUCTION 4

5.  A target frame in LR video sequence is interpolated by using forward and backward HR key-frame(KF). M OTION -C OMPENSATED SR Basic Concept 5 The KF interval N can be constant or variable. These paper employ cubic convolution for Up-Scaling.

6.  First, the MV for overlapping M×M matching block is searched by using a rate-constrained ME.  The conventional rate-constrained ME find the best v for each matching block by minimizing the rate as well as distortion  In order to maximize the ME performance and to concurrently reduce the computational burden, we adopt a rate-constrained fast full search algorithm presented in [15].

7.  Assume that MVs between up-scaled LR frames are statistically very similar to those between corresponding HR frame.  Replace the unknown MVs for HR frames with the MVs obtains from the up-scaled LR frames.  Employ BOBMC based on bi-directional MVs.the BOBMC is performed on a 4×4 block basis.  Each MV may be a forward or backward MV. The direction is determined according to SAD M OTION -C OMPENSATED SR Bi-directional OBMC 7

9.  It cannot often provide acceptable visual quality due to non- translational motion, occlusion, inaccurate motion estimation and limited motion search range.  When such temporal motion compensation does not work well, we employ a learning-based SR in order to avoid the degradation of visual quality.
