Abstract
Provided is an image-resolution-improvement apparatus and method which can increase the resolution of an input image at a high magnification to thereby obtain a high-quality final image. The apparatus includes a textured-region-detection unit to detect a texture region in an input image; and a final-image-generation unit to synthesize a first intermediate image and a second intermediate image, which are obtained by applying different interpolation techniques to the texture region and a non-texture region excluding the texture region and generating a final image.
Claims32
An image-resolution-improvement apparatus, comprising:
- a textured-region-detection unit to detect a texture region of an input image;
- and
- a final-image-generation unit to synthesize a first intermediate image and a second intermediate image, which are obtained by applying different interpolation techniques to the texture region and a non-texture region excluding the texture region, and generating a final image.
An image-resolution-improvement method, comprising:
- detecting a texture region in an input image;
- and
- synthesizing a first intermediate image and a second intermediate image, which are obtained by applying different interpolation techniques to the texture region and a non-texture region excluding the texture region, and generating a final image.
A method, comprising:
- detecting a texture region of image data;
- and
- producing an image with the texture region having pixels produced by a first interpolation technique and with a non-texture region having pixels produced by a second interpolation technique different than the first interpolation technique.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor receiving image data, detecting a texture region of the image data, and
- producing an image with the texture region produced by a first interpolation technique and with a non-texture region produced by a second interpolation technique;
- and
- a display displaying the image.
