Formulation

• Interpolation kernel [1]

  

• Interpolation Use the values of 16 pixels around the new pixel dst(x,y) [1][2]. (x,y) shows the location of pixels.

  

Here, f means the values of pixels. x1, x2, x3, x4 are the distance of x direction from new pixel to near 16 pixels. y1, ... are the distance of y direction.

Example

• Upscale input image 2 times (ratio = 2) The 'butterfly' image is from [3].

  

  ↑ Input image (256x256)

  

  ↑ Output image (512x512)
