Abstract

Image resampling method using color edge-directed interpolation has been developed. It uses color image gradient to perform the interpolation across image gradient rather than along image gradient. The developed combined method takes color low resolution image and grayscale high resolution image obtained by a non-linear image resampling method as an input. It includes consecutive calculation stages for high resolution color gradient, for high resolution color information interpolation and finally for high resolution color image assembling. The concept of color basic edges is used to analyze the results of color image resampling. Color basic edge points metric was suggested and used to show the effectiveness of the proposed image interpolation method.
