초록

자연 영상에는 일반적으로 지역성이 존재하기 때문에 인접한 픽셀 값들은 매우 유사한 값을 갖는다. 유사한 픽셀 값을 갖는 인접 픽셀들을 사용하여 실제 영상의 곡면 특성을 추정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 인접 픽셀 값들을 사용하여 실제 영상에 존재하는 곡면 특성을 정밀하게 추정하고, 곡면 특성을 반영하여 보간 값을 구하는 효과적인 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법을 사용하여 보간 값을 구하고자 하는 부분의 곡면 특성을 추정한 후, 추정된 곡면 특성을 충실하게 반영하는 보간 값을 구하여 확대 영상을 생성하는 효과적인 영상 확대 기법은 확대 영상의 화질을 향상시킨다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 기법의 성능이 기존의 기법에 비하여 우수함을 확인하였다.

In natural images, there is generally locality, and the values of adjacent pixels are similar. It is possible to estimate the curved surface characteristics of the original image using adjacent pixels having similar pixel values. In this paper, after precisely estimating the characteristics of the curved surface existing in the image, interpolation values are obtained so as to faithfully reflect the estimated characteristics of the curved surface, We propose an effective image enlarging method that generates an enlarged image using the obtained interpolation values. The image enlarged by the proposed method maintains the curved surface characteristics of the original image, and thus the image quality of the enlarged image is improved. Experimental results show that the image quality of the proposed method is superior to that of the conventional techniques.
