Abstract
This paper demonstrates a massively multi-threaded implementation of super-resolution image formation on the NVIDIA CUDA architecture. On the algorithm side maximum a-posteriori (MAP) reconstruction is adopted with sub-pixel translational motion estimation algorithm for spatial resolution enhancement. Resulting algorithm is implemented in CUDA using a low end GT 640 GPU, and an overall speed up of 10 – 11 times is achieved compared to ANSI C implementation running on a Core i5 CPU.
