Abstract :
We introduce a novel image interpolation method, which focuses on providing artifact-free contours. In our method, the image contours are divided into edges and ridges, and we estimate the orientation of them differently and apply directional interpolations on them. Our method gives visually pleasing and natural-looking images. Experiment results are shown and compared with other interpolations methods.
