A new interpolation function, named modified raised-cosine interpolation, is proposed. This function is derived from the linear combination of weighted triangular and raised-cosine functions to reduce the effect of side lobes which incur the interpolation error. Interpolation error reduces significantly for higher-order convolutional interpolation functions of linear operators, but at the expense of resolution error due to the attenuation of main lobe. However, the proposed interpolation function enables us to reduce the side lobes as well as to preserve the main lobe. To prove practicality, this function is applied in image reconstruction and enlargement.

The purpose of this study was to aid in the use of the digital images by edge-detect interpolation for direct digital periapical images using edge-detect interpolation. This study was performed by image processing of 20 digital periapical images; pixel replication, linear non-interpolation, linear interpolation. and edge-sensitive interpolation. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Pixel replication showed blocking artifact and serious image distortion. 2. Linear interpolation showed smoothing effect on the edge. 3. Edge-sensitive interpolation overcame the smoothing effect on the edge and showed better image.

A number of techniques have been proposed for 3D display using view-difference of two eyes. These methods do not express enough reality like real world. The display images have to change according to the position of a viewer to improve reality. In this paper, we present an approach for generating intermediate image between two different view images by applying new image interpolation algorithm The interpolation algorithm is designed to cope with complex shapes. The proposed image interpolation algorithm generates rotated image about vertical axes by any angle from base images. Each base image that was obtained from CCD camera has an view-angle difference of $3^{\circ}C$, $5.5^{\circ}C$, $^{\circ}C$, $22^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$. The proposed into mediate image generation method uses the geometric analysis of image and depth information through the block-based matching method.

We propose an adaptive linear interpolation locating sub-pixels. We utilize a pixel-based parameter in the conventional linear interpolation. To optimally obtain the parameter, we propose a generic interpolation structure including a low pass filter and minimum mean square error. We also propose a simple version of the generic interpolation method, which obtain a closed-form solution. Simulation results show that the proposed method is superior to the state-of-the-art methods such as warped distance linear interpolation and shifted linear interpolation, as well as the conventional method such as the linear interpolation and the cubic convolution interpolation in terms of the subjective and objective image quality.

B-spline function is generally used for an image interpolation because of its smoothness and continuity, but it accompanies a large amount of blurring effect. In this paper, a space-variant B-spline interpolation function is proposed through deblurring process followed by de-aliasing process. The proposed function has parametric expression and performs smoothing and edge-enhancement adaptively in the interpolation process according to local property of the image. Application of this function to image enlargement, rotation, and curve representation producted good results. Even in the presence of noise, noise smoothing effect as well as edge-enhancement were observed in the image interpolation process.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of interpolation in demosaicing techniques for single sensor digital camera. We choose BI(bilinear interpolation), ACPI(adaptive color plane interpolation), ECI(effective color interpolation), Ideal ACPI, and EECI(Enhanced effective color interpolation) in the literature of demosacing techniques since they provide low-complexity and substantial image quality. We survey the algorithms and simulate them. To evaluate the methods in terms of objective image quality and complexity, 24 Kodak images will be used in this experiment. Experimental results show that the ECI method is better than others in terms of image quality versus complexity.

Image interpolation is a technique which estimates the non-allocated pixel values on image scale-transform. It requires minimum computational complexity and minimum image quality degradation on the interpolated resultant images. In this paper we propose an image interpolation method using iterative error estimation. The proposed method consists of the following five steps: loss-information computational step, loss-information estimation step, loss-information application step, error computation step, and error application step. The experimental results obtained show that the average PSNR is increased by 3.3dB, subjective image quality is enhanced and the minimum computation complexity is decreased by 83%. The proposed image interpolation algorithm may be helpful in various applications such as image reconstruction and enlargement.

In this study, we proposes the method to improve the quality of the image through the edge extraction more delicately. Our method is named ESII(Edge Sensitive Image Interpolation) and doesn't use the fixed parameter of the interpolation kernel. However, it changes the parameter of pixel which is interpolated to the high definition image using the proper information from the surrounding pixels. It reconstructs the image by using the LSE(Least Square Error) and determining the pixel values to make the CME(Camera Modelling Error) minimized. Compared to the conventional methods, suggested method shows the higher quality of subjective and objective image definition and lessons the computational complexity by separating the image into 1-D data.

In digital image communication systems, YUV 4:2:0 or YUV 4:2:2 images filtered and subsampled versions of YUV 4:4:4 images are utilized and these images recover their size by an interpolation filter. Low pass filters and interpolation filters in the image communication systems are generally utilized. Thus, to improve the image quality, efficient low pass filters and interpolation filters are still required. In this paper, we propose new and efficient low pass filters and interpolation filters and their design method. The low pass filters and interpolation filters used in the MPEG-2 system were developed independently. We utilize wavelet transforms to jointly design low pass filters and interpolation filters. Simulation results show that the proposed filters are superior to the filters used in MPEG-2 in terms of PSNR. In addition, the length of the proposed interpolation filters is shorter than that of the filters used in the MPEG 2 system.

Image interpolation is a technique that pervades many an application. Interpolation is almost never the goal in itself, yet it affects both the desired results and the ways to obtain them. In this paper, we proposed a technique that is capable to find out the error when the common two methods (bilinear and nearest neighbor interpolation) are applied on an image for rotation. The proposed technique also includes the comparison results of bilinear interpolation and nearest neighbor interpolation. Among them nearest neighbor interpolation gives us a better result regarding to the enhancement and due to least error. The error is found by using Mean Square Error (MSE).
