Abstract
- Since the dimensions for digital images are set by the acquisition system, digital image enlargement is indispensable when the dimensions that can be displayed are larger in the display system than in the acquisition system. Conventionally, this enlargement process was performed by interpolation. The digital image enlargement corresponds to a larger Nyquist frequency, but the frequency band that is expanded during the enlargement cannot be considered by the interpolation scheme, and blur is produced in the enlarged image. The parts where the image blur stands out subjectively are primarily the signals forming the image contours having the step edge shape and the details of the image consisting of mountain- and valley-shaped signals when viewed microscopically. Therefore, the proposed method moves the coordinate points interpolated to preserve the discontinuities of step edge signals and decides whether the interpolated points are the vertices of the mountain- or valley-shaped signals, and then moves the amplitudes of the interpolated points for creating these peak signals up or down. In other words, we explain an interpolation scheme involving the warping and biasing that randomly moves the coordinate points and the signal amplitudes, and implement digital image interpolation with improved resolution. Furthermore, the parameter settings for the proposed method are both objectively and subjectively evaluated. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
