Abstract

Image interpolation is used in many areas of image processing. It is seen that many techniques developed to date have been successful in both protecting edges and increasing image quality. However, these techniques generally detect edges with gradient-based linear calculations. In this study, spiking neural networks (SNNs), which are known to successfully simulate the human visual system (HVS), are used to detect edge pixels instead of the gradient. With the help of the proposed SNN-based model, the pixels marked as edges are interpolated with a 1D directional filter. For the remaining pixels, the standard bicubic interpolation technique is used. Additionally, the success of the proposed method is compared to known methods using various metrics. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more successful than the other methods.
