Abstract
An Image Resolution Enhancement Technique based on Interpolation of the high frequency sub-band of colour images obtained by Discrete Wavelet Transform and the input colour image is proposed in this paper. Interpolation determines the intermediate values on the basis of observed values. One of the commonly used interpolation technique is Bicubic Interpolation. The edges are enhanced by introducing an intermediate stage by using Stationary Wavelet Transform. It is designed to overcome the lack of Translation-Invariance of Discrete Wavelet Transform. This is widely used in Signal Denoising and Pattern Recognition. Discrete Wavelet Transform is applied in order to decompose an input colour image into different sub-bands. Then the high frequency sub-bands as well as the input colour image are interpolated separately. The interpolated high frequency sub-bands and the Stationary Wavelet Transform high frequency sub-bands have the same size which means they can be added with each other. The new corrected high frequency sub-bands can be interpolated further for higher enlargement. Then all these sub-bands are combined with interpolated input image for new high resolution image by using Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform. This has been done by MATLAB. The Peak Signal-Noise Ratio was obtained upto 5dB greater than the conventional and state-of-art image resolution enhancement techniques.
