In this thesis, we investigate the patch-based image denoising and super-resolution under the Bayesian Maximum A Posteriori framework, with the help of a set of high quality images which are known as standard images. Our contributions are to address the construction of the dictionary, which is used to represent image patches, and the prior distribution in dictionary space.We have demonstrated that the careful selection of dictionary to represent the local information of image can improve the image reconstruction. By establishing an exhaustive dictionary from the standard images, our main attribute is to locally select a sub-dictionary of matched patches to recover each patch in the degraded image. Beside the conventional Euclidean measure, ...
