With advances in optical sensor technology, heterogeneous camera systems are increasingly used for high-resolution (HR) video acquisition and analysis. However, motion transfer across multiple cameras poses challenges. To address this, we propose an algorithm based on time series analysis that identifies motion seasonality and constructs an additive model to extract transferable patterns. Validated on real-world data, our algorithm demonstrates effectiveness and interpretability. Notably, it improves pose estimation in low-resolution videos by leveraging patterns derived from HR counterparts, enhancing practical utility.

Presenting high-resolution (HR) human appearance is always critical for the human-centric videos. However, current imagery equipment can hardly capture HR details all the time. Existing super-resolution algorithms barely mitigate the problem by only considering universal and low-level priors of im-age patches. In contrast, our algorithm is under bias towards the human body super-resolution by taking advantage of high-level prior defined by HR human appearance. Firstly, a motion analysis module extracts inherent motion pattern from the HR reference video to refine the pose estimation of the low-resolution (LR) sequence. Furthermore, a human body reconstruction module maps the HR texture in the reference frames onto a 3D mesh model. Consequently, the input LR videos get super-resolved HR human sequences are generated conditioned on the original LR videos as well as few HR reference frames. Experiments on an existing dataset and real-world data captured by hybrid cameras show that our approach generates superior visual quality of human body compared with the traditional method.
