  2. Introduction • What is image interpolation? • An image f(x,y) tells us the intensity values at the integral lattice locations, i.e., when x and y are both integers • Image interpolation refers to the “guess” of intensity values at missing locations, i.e., x and y can be arbitrary • Note that it is just a guess (Note that all sensors have finite sampling distance) EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  3. Introduction (Con’t) • Why do we need image interpolation? • We want BIG images • When we see a video clip on a PC, we like to see it in the full screen mode • We want GOOD images • If some block of an image gets damaged during the transmission, we want to repair it • We want COOL images • Manipulate images digitally can render fancy artistic effects as we often see in movies EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  8. 1D Zero-order (Replication) f(n) n f(x) x EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  9. 1D First-order Interpolation (Linear) f(n) n f(x) x EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  10. Linear Interpolation Formula Basic idea: the closer to a pixel, the higher weight is assigned f(n) f(n+a) f(n+1) a 1-a f(n+a)=(1-a)f(n)+af(n+1), 0<a<1 Note: when a=0.5, we simply have the average of two EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  11. Numerical Examples f(n)=[0,120,180,120,0] Interpolate at 1/2-pixel f(x)=[0,60,120,150,180,150,120,60,0], x=n/2 Interpolate at 1/3-pixel f(x)=[0,20,40,60,80,100,120,130,140,150,160,170,180,…], x=n/6 EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  12. 1D Third-order Interpolation (Cubic) f(n) n f(x) x Cubic spline fitting EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  13. From 1D to 2D • Just like separable 2D transform (filtering) that can be implemented by two sequential 1D transforms (filters) along row and column direction respectively, 2D interpolation can be decomposed into two sequential 1D interpolations. • The ordering does not matter (row-column = column-row) • Such separable implementation is not optimal but enjoys low computational complexity EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  14. Graphical Interpretationof Interpolation at Half-pel row column f(m,n) g(m,n) EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  19. Directional Interpolation* Step 1: interpolate the missing pixels along the diagonal a b Since |a-c|=|b-d| x x has equal probability of being black or white c d black or white? Step 2: interpolate the other half missing pixels a Since |a-c|>|b-d| x d b x=(b+d)/2=black c EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

  30. Basic Principle • (x,y)  (x’,y’) is a geometric transformation • We are given pixel values at (x,y) and want to interpolate the unknown values at (x’,y’) • Usually (x’,y’) are not integers and therefore we can use linear interpolation to guess their values MATLAB implementation: z’=interp2(x,y,z,x’,y’,method); EE465: Introduction to Digital Image Processing
