A New Edge-adaptive Zooming Algorithm for Digital Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we address the problem of producing an enlarged picture from a given digital image (zooming). We propose a method that tries to take into account information about discontinuities or sharp luminance variations while doubling the input picture. This is realized by a multiple scan of the zoomed image and could hence be implemented with limited computational resources. The algorithm works on monochromatic images, but it is easily adapted to zoom RGB color pictures. Our experiments show that the proposed method beats in quality pixel replication and bilinear interpolation. Moreover our algorithm is competitive both for quality and efficiency with bicubic interpolation.

Tuning Shape Parameter of Radial Basis Functions in Zooming Images using Genetic Algorithm
Image zooming is one of the current issues of image processing where maintaining the quality and structure of the zoomed image is important. To zoom an image, it is necessary that the extra pixels be placed in the data of the image. Adding the data to the image must be consistent with the texture in the image and not to create artificial blocks. In this study, the required pixels are estimated ...
متن کاملImage Zooming using Non-linear Partial Differential Equation
The main issue in any image zooming techniques is to preserve the structure of the zoomed image. The zoomed image may suffer from the discontinuities in the soft regions and edges; it may contain artifacts, such as image blurring and blocky, and staircase effects. This paper presents a novel image zooming technique using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). It combines a non-linear Fourth-ord...

متن کاملAn image zooming technique based on vector quantization approximation
An image zooming method based on vector quantization approximation for magnifying gray-scale and color image by a factor of 2 is proposed. In our proposed method, the unknown pixel values on the image are interpolated by using a vector quantization codebook based on their local information. In comparison of our method with the locally adaptive zooming algorithm published in [S. Battiato, G. Gal...
متن کاملImproved Adaptive Median Filter Algorithm for Removing Impulse Noise from Grayscale Images
Digital image is often degraded by many kinds of noise during the process of acquisition and transmission. To make subsequent processing more convenient, it is necessary to decrease the effect of noise. There are many kinds of noises in image, which mainly include salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. This paper focuses on median filters to remove the salt and pepper noise. After summarizin...
