High accuracy WaDi image interpolation with local gradient features
Shuai Yuan, Minori Abe, Akira Taguchi, M. Kawamata · 2005
In this paper, we propose a new computational method of the warped distance (WaDi) for digital image interpolation. The conventional WaDi algorithm only uses the local asymmetry features of image edges to compute the WaDi and then uses the computed WaDi in place of the interpolation operator in the linear interpolations. The local gradient features are one kind of the important features of image edges as well as the local asymmetry features. In this paper, we adopt both the local asymmetry features and the local gradient features in the WaDi computation. Experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain high accuracy interpolated images.
