Cross section Interpolation of Medical Images Based on Pixel Classification[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2008, 13(9): 1655. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20080905.
Image interpolation of cross sections is one of the key steps of medical visualization. It affects directly the results of reconstructed tissues or organs
which plays an important role in medical treatment and diagnose. The traditional interpolation methods are imprecise or of high computational complexity. Aiming at such problems
an interpolation method based on pixel classification is presented. The method classifies pixels of the image to be interpolated by the relativity of corresponding pixels of its neighbor original images. Then the different methods are adopted to interpolate the different points. In addition
error checkout is introduced to check the mismatching points. Experimental results show that not only the complexity of the proposed approach is reduced
but also its quantitative error frequency is less than the conventional methods.
