Abstract

In this paper, a quality improvement scheme is proposed for magnified image using the various curved surface characteristics of image. After testing horizontal and vertical directional surface characteristics of source image, interpolation value is calculated to have the surface characteristics such as simple convex surface, simple concave surface, and compound surface. The calculated interpolation value become the value of the interpolated pixel of magnified image. The calculated interpolation value is closer to the pixel value of real image. So, the quality of the magnified image is improved. The PSNR value of the magnified image using the proposed scheme is larger than the PSNR values of the magnified image using the existing techniques.

본 논문에서는 원본 영상에 존재하는 가로축 방향과 세로축 방향의 단순 볼록 곡면 혹은 단순 오목 곡면 특성을 정밀하게 조사한 후, 다양한 곡면의 특성을 효과적으로 활용하여 실제 영상의 픽셀 값에 더욱 근접한 보간 값을 구하고 이를 사용하여 확대 영상을 생성하는 확대 영상의 화질 개선 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법의 절차에 따라 구해진 보간 값은 실제 영상에 존재하는 단순 볼록 곡면, 단순 오목 곡면, 복합 곡면상의 값을 갖게 되기 때문에 실제 영상에 더욱 근접한 확대 영상을 생성할 수 있어 확대 영상의 화질이 향상된다. 제안 기법을 적용하여 확대한 영상의 PSNR 값이 기존의 기법들을 적용하여 확대한 영상의 PSNR 값보다 큰 것을 확인하였다.
