- Abstract: In this paper we address the problem of matching two images with two
different resolutions: a high-resolution image and a low-resolution one. The
difference in resolution between the two images is not known and without loss
of generality one of the images is assumed to be the high-resolution one. On
the premise that changes in resolution act as a smoothing equivalent to changes
in scale, a scale-space representation of the high-resolution image is
produced. Hence the one-to-one classical image matching paradigm becomes
one-to-many because the low-resolution image is compared with all the
scale-space representations of the high-resolution one. Key to the success of
such a process is the proper representation of the features to be matched in
scale-space. We show how to represent and extract interest points at variable
scales and we devise a method allowing the comparison of two images at two
different resolutions. The method comprises the use of photometric- and
rotation-invariant descriptors, a geometric model mapping the high-resolution
image onto a low-resolution image region, and an image matching strategy based
on local constraints and on the robust estimation of this geometric model.
Extensive experiments show that our matching method can be used for scale
changes up to a factor of 6.

This paper addresses two tasks: (i) fixed-size objects such as hay bales to be identified in an aerial image for a given reference image of the object, and (ii) variable-size patches such as areas on fields requiring spot spraying or other handling are to be identified in an image for a given small-scale reference image.
The exact number of similar sub-images is not known a priori.

Supervised deep learning approaches can artificially increase the resolution of microscopy images by learning a mapping between two image resolutions or modalities.
Recent methods based on GAN latent search offered a drastic increase in resolution without the need of paired images.
Here, we propose a robust super-resolution method based on regularized latent search(RLS) that offers an actionable balance between fidelity to the ground-truth and realism of the recovered image.

Real-world applications raise the need for cross-resolution change detection, aka, CD based on bitemporal images with different spatial resolutions.
We propose scale-invariant learning to enforce the model consistently predicting HR results given synthesized samples of varying resolution differences.
Our method significantly outperforms several vanilla CD methods and two cross-resolution CD methods on three datasets.

Re-Identification [49.57112924976762]
Cross-resolution person re-identification problem aims to match low-resolution (LR) query identity images against high resolution (HR) gallery images.
It is a challenging and practical problem since the query images often suffer from resolution degradation due to the different capturing conditions from real-world cameras.
This paper explores an alternative SR-free paradigm to directly compare HR and LR images via a dynamic metric, which is adaptive to the resolution of a query image.
