We have analysed the formation of streak artefacts in the reconstruction based on the filtered back projection algorithm in electron tomography (ET) and accordingly applied an adaptive interpolation technique to artefact reduction. In the adaptive interpolation to recover the missing information, the edge positions in a projection curve were tracked to reduce the interpolation error. A simulati...

A resolution enhancement scheme is presented. It consists of interpolation followed by processing with an adaptive nonlinear forward-and-backwarddi usion process that enhances edges while suppressing interpolation ringings and denoising smooth areas. keywords: super-resolution, image interpolation, anisotropic di usion, image enhancement, scale-space.

Interpolation by various types of splines is the standard procedure in many applications. In this paper we shall discuss harmonic spline “interpolation” (on the lines of a grid) as an alternative to polynomial spline interpolation (at vertices of a grid). We will discuss some advantages and drawbacks of this approach and present the asymptotics of the Lp-error for adaptive approximation by harm...

Common hybrid video coding standards such as H.263, MPEG-1,2,4 are based on motion compensated prediction. For the motion compensated prediction purpose, displacement vectors with fractional-pel resolutions (e.g. 1/2-pel or 1/4-pel) are used. In order to estimate and compensate fractional-pel displacements, the image signal has to be interpolated. The most popular and very simple interpolation ...

This paper presents a novel intermediate view synthesis method based on adaptive belief propagation (BP) algorithm and view interpolation. First, we raise the accuracy in disparity estimation by introducing an adaptive BP algorithm. Then, image pairs are divided into three kinds of regions. Finally, intermediate view is obtained by applying a new interpolation method to each region. Experimenta...

Reconstruction techniques exploit a first building process using Low-resolution (LR) images to obtain a "draft" High Resolution (HR) image and then update the estimated HR by back-projection error reduction. This paper presents different HR draft image construction techniques and shows methods providing the best solution in terms of final perceived/measured quality. The following algorithms hav...

In this paper, a new approach for arbitrary scaling of images using a 2-D M-channel filter bank is proposed, whereby sampling kernels, introduced along with an optimized adaptive interpolation technique, are incorporated into the filter bank. More specifically, 2-D down and up sampling formulae are derived in a closed form by utilizing an adjustable window function such as a raised cosine funct...

This paper presents a generalized motion and edge adaptive de-interlacing framework, which offers a structured way to develop de-interlacing algorithm. The framework encompasses many typical de-interlacing algorithms, ranging from simple interpolation based algorithms, to more complex edge dependent and motion adaptive algorithms. Based on this framework, we develop a new de-interlacing algorit...
