Piecewise Polynomial Kernels for Image Interpolation: A Generalization of Cubic Convolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 spectral analyses we conclude that the improvements of the higher order schemes over cubic convolution are only marginal. We also conclude that in all cases, cardinal splines are superior.

Image reconstruction by convolution with symmetrical piecewise nth-order polynomial kernels
The reconstruction of images is an important operation in many applications. From sampling theory, it is well known that the sine-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...

This work presents a new method of fast cubic and higher order image interpolation. The evaluation of the piecewise n-th order polynomial kernels is accelerated by transforming the polynomials into the interval [0, 1], which has the advantage that some terms of the polynomials disappear, and that several coefficients could be precalculated, which is proven in the paper. The results are exactly ...
