The Nonlocal -Laplacian Evolution for Image Interpolation

Abstract:

This paper presents an image interpolation model with nonlocal -Laplacian regularization. The nonlocal -Laplacian regularization overcomes the drawback of the partial differential equation (PDE) proposed by Belahmidi and Guichard (2004) that image density diffuses in the directions pointed by local gradient. The grey values of images diffuse along image feature direction not gradient direction under the control of the proposed model, that is, minimal smoothing in the directions across the image features and maximal smoothing in the directions along the image features. The total regularizer combines the advantages of nonlocal -Laplacian regularization and total variation (TV) regularization (preserving discontinuities and 1D image structures). The derived model efficiently reconstructs the real image, leading to a natural interpolation, with reduced blurring and staircase artifacts. We present experimental results that prove the potential and efficacy of the method.
