Extensor-based image interpolation

چکیده
We propose a novel image interpolation method for resolution enhancement of still images. The approach consists of a nonlinear mapping from pixel index space to color space based on the low-resolution image so that non-integral pixel indices in a super-sampling can be mapped to colors, i.e., interpolated. This nonlinear mapping is based on an extensor transformation of 2D pixel indices to an N-dimensional vector space that encodes the Euclidean proximity interrelationships among a neighborhood of N pixels. Experimental results indicate that extensor-based interpolation yields results that are qualitatively superior to classical bilinear and bicubic interpolation, that has important advantages in comparison to edge-directed [4] and optimal-recovery [10] interpolation methods, and that has comparable or lower computational cost.

A New Technique for Image Zooming Based on the Moving Least Squares
In this paper, a new method for gray-scale image and color zooming algorithm based on their local information is offered. In the proposed method, the unknown values of the new pixels on the image are computed by Moving Least Square (MLS) approximation based on both the quadratic spline and Gaussian-type weight functions. The numerical results showed that this method is more preferable to biline...

متن کاملSurface reconstruction of detect contours for medical image registration purpose
Although, most of the abnormal structures of human brain do not alter the shape of outer envelope of brain (surface), some abnormalities can deform the surface extensively. However, this may be a major problem in a surface-based registration technique, since two nearly identical surfaces are required for surface fitting process. A type of verification known as the circularity check for th...
متن کاملComparison of Interpolation Methods in Bayer CFA Image Compression Based on Structure Separation and APBT-JPEG
The color filter array (CFA) captures only one-third of the necessary color intensities and the full color image is generated from the captured data by interpolation. In recent years, the algorithm of Bayer patterned image compression based on “structure separation” has achieved better image quality. On the basis of previous work, the algorithm based on the all phase biorthogonal transform (APB...
