Edge-Forming Methods for Image Zooming: Color Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article introduces edge-forming schemes for image zooming of color images by general magnification factors. In order to remove/reduce artifacts arising in image interpolation such as image blur and the checkerboard effect, an edge-forming method is suggested to be applied as a post-process of standard interpolation methods. The method is based on non-convex nonlinear partial differential equations. The equations are carefully discretized, incorporating numerical schemes of anisotropic diffusion, to be able to form reliable edges satisfactorily. The alternating direction implicit (ADI) method is employed for an efficient simulation of the model. It has been numerically verified that the resulting algorithm can form clear edges in 2-3 ADI iterations. Various results are given to show effectiveness and reliability of the algorithm.

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 کاملInterpolation and Zooming Techniques Utilizing Edge-weighted Adaptive Filtering for Color Filter Array
A single sensor provided with a color filter array (CFA) format looks like a mosaic image. Each pixel in the image contains a primary color, red, green and blue, arranged alternately. Most previous interpolation and zooming techniques for CFA image utilize the gradient and the spatial information of the neighborhood color pixels around the interpolation positions. However, their characteristics...
متن کاملA joint demosaicking-zooming scheme for single chip digital color cameras
Demosaicking and zooming are important for the quality of digital images in resource-constrained single chip devices such as wireless camera phones and vision-based pocket devices. The color artifacts introduced in the demosaicking process can be magnified in the subsequent zooming process and vice versa. This paper presents a joint demosaicking–zooming scheme by exploiting the fact that red/gr...
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...

Localizing text regions in images taken from natural scenes is one of the challenging problems dueto variations in font, size, color and orientation of text. In this paper, we introduce a new concept socalled Edge Color Signature for localizing text regions in an image. This method is able to localizeboth Farsi and English texts. In the proposed method rst a pyramid using diff...
