Abstract
An energy functional with bidirectional flow is presented to sharpen image by reducing its edge width, which performs a forward diffusion in brighter lateral on edge ramp and backward diffusion that proceeds in darker lateral. We first consider the diffusion equations asL2gradient flows on integral functionals and then modify the inner product fromL2to a Sobolev inner product. The experimental results demonstrate that our model efficiently reconstructs the real image, leading to a natural interpolation with reduced blurring, staircase artifacts and preserving better the texture features of image.
Highlights
Digital image interpolation is an inverse process of imaging process which samples higher resolution scene to lower resolution lattices
An energy functional with bidirectional flow is presented to sharpen image by reducing its edge width, which performs a forward diffusion in brighter lateral on edge ramp and backward diffusion that proceeds in darker lateral
Similar to [6], the nonlinear diffusion coefficient is locally adjusted according to image features such as edges, textures, and moments, which performs forward diffusion near homogeneous regions while backward diffusion near edges with strength and orientation adapted to image structures
