Popis: To increase the range of sizes of video scene text recognizable by optical character recognition (OCR), we developed a Bayesian super-resolution algorithm that uses a text-specific bimodal prior. We evaluated the effectiveness of the bimodal prior, compared and in conjunction with a piecewise smoothness prior, visually and by measuring the accuracy of the OCR results on the variously super-resolved images. The bimodal prior improved the readability of 4- to 7-pixel-high scene text significantly better than bicubic interpolation and increased the accuracy of OCR results better than the piecewise smoothness prior.
