A New Technique for Image Zooming Based on the Moving Least Squares

Authors

Abstract:

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 bilinear interpolation in term of quality (for the quadratic spline weight function), and is comparable to bicubic interpolation (for the Gaussian-type weight function).

A meshless discrete Galerkin method for solving the universe evolution differential equations based on the moving least squares approximation

In terms of observational data, there are some problems in the standard Big Bang cosmological model. Inflation era, early accelerated phase of the evolution of the universe, can successfully solve these problems. The inflation epoch can be explained by scalar inflaton field. The evolution of this field is presented by a non-linear differential equation. This equation is considered in FLRW model...

Image Deformation using Moving Least Squares based on Unequal Grids

In this paper, we propose a new method of image deformation. The unequal grids, which are based on the density of edges, were used for the dividing criteria in the MLS (Moving Least Squares) approximation [1] in image deformation. Depending on the importance of the image, we place the size of the grid differently and minimize the distortion that can occur when transforming the image. In this me...

On Moving Least Squares Based Flow Visualization

Modern simulation and measurement methods tend to produce meshfree data sets if modeling of processes or objects with free surfaces or boundaries is desired. In Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), such data sets are described by particle-based vector fields. This paper presents a summary of a selection of methods for the extraction of geometric features of such point-based vector fields while p...

Sketching Image Morphing Using Moving Least Squares

Image morphing has received much attention in recent years. It has proven to be a powerful tool for visual effects in film and television, depicting the fluid transformation of one digital image into another. In this paper, we present a novel approach for image morphing based on moving least squares. A sketching interface is proposed for quickly and easily specifying the feature correspondences...

A new shock-capturing technique based on Moving Least Squares for higher-order numerical schemes on unstructured grids

a r t i c l e i n f o This paper presents a shock detection technique based on Moving Least Squares reproducing kernel approximations. The multiresolution properties of these kinds of approximations allow us to define a wavelet function to act as a smoothness indicator. This MLS sensor is used to detect the shock waves. When the MLS sensor is used in a finite volume framework in combination wit...
