Definition:Image zooming or spatial interpolation of a digital image is the process of increasing the number of pixels representing the natural scene.
Image zooming is frequently used in high resolution display devices [1] and consumer-grade digital cameras [2], [3]. Unlike spectral interpolation, spatial interpolation preserves the spectral representation of the input. Operating on the spatial domain of a digital image, spatial interpolation transforms a gray-scale or color image into an enlarged gray-scale or color image (Figure 1), respectively.
