A survey on evaluation methods for image interpolation
Angelos A. Amanatiadis, Ioannis Th. Andreadis · Measurement Science and Technology · 2009
Image interpolation is applied to Euclidean, affine and projective transformations in numerous imaging applications. However, due to the unique characteristics and wide applications of image interpolation, a separate study of their evaluation methods is crucial. The paper studies different existing methods for the evaluation of image interpolation techniques. Furthermore, an evaluation method utilizing ground truth images for the comparisons is proposed. Two main classes of analysis are proposed as the basis for the assessments: performance evaluation and cost evaluation. The presented methods are briefly described, followed by comparative discussions. This survey provides information for the appropriate use of the existing evaluation methods and their improvement, assisting also in the designing of new evaluation methods and techniques.
