Interpolation method for enlarging an image
The present invention relates to an interpolation method for enlarging an image, wherein the image is composed of plural scanning lines. Firstly, it selects four adjacent continuous pixels xk−1, xk, xk+1, and xk+2 which have the pixel values f(xk−1), f(xk), f(xk+1), and f(xk+2) respectively on each of the scanning lines; next, it determines three linear equations Lk−1, Lk, and Lk+1 according to every two adjacent pixel values f(xk−1) and f(xk), f(xk) and f(xk+1), and f(xk+1) and f(xk+2), respectively; then, it selects a pixel x to be interpolated between the pixel xk and the pixel xk+1; finally, it applies the pixel x to the three linear equations Lk−1, Lk, and Lk+1 to determine three candidate pixel values which are weighted and combined to obtain pixel value f(x) of the pixel x.
