Abstract

An iterative hybrid interpolation method is proposed in this study, which is an integration of the bilinear and the bi-cubic interpolation methods and implemented by an iterative scheme. First, the implement procedure of the iterative hybrid interpolation method is described. This covers (a) a low resolution image is interpolated by using the bilinear and the bi-cubic interpolators respectively; (b) a hybrid interpolated result is computed according to the weighted sum of both bilinear interpolation result and bi-cubic interpolation result and (c) the final interpolation result is obtained by repeating the similar steps for the successive two hybrid interpolation results by a recursive manner. Second, a further discussion on the method – the relation between hybrid parameter and details of an image is provided from the theoretical point of view, at the same time, an approach used for the determining of the parameter is proposed based on the analysis of error parameter curve. Third, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified based on the experimental study.
