A Novel Regularized Image Interpolation Algorithm Based on Genetic Algorithm
can be analyzed in two steps: (i)upsampling by zero filling
and(ii) low-pass filtering. But ideal low-pass filtering of interpolation can not be practically achieved
which results in high-frequency artifacts in the interpolated image. On the other hand
due to the low-pass filters fixed
these algorithms fail to utilize the information of the image itself. In order to improve the quality of the interpolated image and enhance the resolution of it
a novel regularized image interpolation algorithm based on genetic algorithm is proposed in this paper. This genetic algorithm has real-valued coding
the induced mutation operator and the fitness function for evaluation containing the term of some subjective quality measures
so the convergence of the genetic searching in the solution space is very fast. Finally
we analyze how to choose the regularization parameter in the fitness function
and compare the results with that of iterative regularized interpolation algorithm. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is practical and applicable.
