Abstract

This paper presents a simple and cost effective approach for digital image magnification (DIM). DIM is used in various applications and is an enthusiastic area of research at present. The proposed technique uses Gaussian edge directed interpolation to determine the precise weights of the neighboring pixels. The standard deviation of the interpolation window determines the value of ‘σ’ for generating Gaussian kernels. Gaussian kernels preserve the original detail of the low-resolution image to produce high-resolution image of high visual quality. The experimental results show that the proposed technique is superior to other techniques qualitatively as well as quantitatively.
