Greyscale Image Interpolation Using Mathematical Morphology

چکیده
When magnifying a bitmapped image, we want to increase the number of pixels it covers, allowing for finer details in the image, which are not visible in the original image. Simple interpolation techniques are not suitable because they introduce jagged edges, also called “jaggies”. Earlier we proposed the “mmint” magnification method (for integer scaling factors), which avoids jaggies. It is based on mathematical morphology. The algorithm detects jaggies in magnified binary images (using pixel replication) and removes them, making the edges smoother. This is done by replacing the value of specific pixels. In this paper, we extend the binary mmint to greyscale images. The pixels are locally binarized so that the same morphological techniques can be applied as for mmint. We take care of the more difficult replacement of pixel values, because several grey values can be part of a jaggy. We then discuss the visual results of the new greyscale method.

INTRODUCTION Mathematical morphology offers some powerful tools for the image interpolation. The idea of the application of mathematical morphology to the image interpolation has been introduced in 1994 in the Center of Mathematical Morphology of Paris School of Mines. The basics of the morphological interpolation methods and the majority of the interpolation algorithms was developed by J.Serra...
متن کاملA Bi-Scale-Space for the Analysis of Blobs
We present a scale-space with separate scales in the greyscale and spatial dimensions, using ideas from mathematical morphology. Dynamics are used for greyscale (luminance) filtering and openings or closings with scaled disks for spatial scaling. Dynamics cater naturally for the inclusion relationships between regions and give a very good measure of the salience (scale) of a region in greyscale...

Experiments of in vitro angiogenesis are important tools for studying both the mechanisms of formation of new blood vessels and the potential development of therapeutic strategies to modulate neovascularisation (e.g., screening of new pharmacological molecules). One of the most frequently used angiogenesis assays is the culture of endothelial cells on a reconstituted basement membrane named Mat...
