Canny edge based image expansion
Hongjian Shi, Rabab Kreidieh Ward · 2003
In this paper, a Canny edge-based image expansion method is introduced. Our proposed expansion method outperforms the pixel replication, the bilinear interpolation and the bicubic interpolation methods. It gives crisp and less zigzag pictures. Our method is applied on the image after it has been expanded using bilinear or bicubic interpolation. The edges of such an expanded image are obtained using the Canny edge detector. The values of pixels around the edges are modified to yield a crisper and less zigzagged picture.
