The Sinc-Approximating Kernels of Classical Polynomial Interpolation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A classical approach to interpolation of sampled data is polynomial interpolation. However, from the sampling theorem it follows that the ideal approach to interpolation is to convolve the given samples with the sinc function. In this paper we study the properties of the sinc-approximating kernels that can be derived from the Lagrange central interpolation scheme. Both the finite-extent properties and the convergence property are analyzed. The Lagrange central interpolation kernels of up to ninth order are compared to cardinal splines of corresponding orders, both by spectral analysis and by rotation experiments on real-life test-images. It is concluded that cardinal spline interpolation is by far superior.

Image Reconstruction by Convolution with Symmetrical Piecewise th-Order Polynomial Kernels
The reconstruction of images is an important operation in many applications. From sampling theory, it is well known that the sinc-function is the ideal interpolation kernel which, however, cannot be used in practice. In order to be able to obtain an acceptable reconstruction, both in terms of computational speed and mathematical precision, it is required to design a kernel that is of finite ext...

Interpolation is required in a variety of medical image processing applications. Although many interpolation techniques are known from the literature, evaluations of these techniques for the specific task of applying geometrical transformations to medical images are still lacking. In this paper we present such an evaluation. We consider convolution-based interpolation methods and rigid transfor...

متن کاملPiecewise Polynomial Kernels for Image Interpolation: A Generalization of Cubic Convolution
A well-known approach to image interpolation is cubic convolution, in which the ideal sinc function is modelled by a finite extent kernel, which consists of piecewise third order polynomials. In this paper we show that the concept of cubic convolution can be generalized. We derive kernels of up to ninth order and compare them both mutually and to cardinal splines of corresponding orders. From s...
