Abstract

We present a method for image interpolation which is able to create
high-quality, perceptually convincing transitions between recorded
images. By implementing concepts derived from human vision, the
problem of a physically correct image interpolation is relaxed to an
image interpolation that is perceived as physically correct by human
observers. We find that it suffices to focus on exact edge correspondences,
homogeneous regions and coherent motion to compute
such solutions. In our user study we confirm the visual quality of
the proposed image interpolation approach. We show how each
aspect of our approach increases the perceived quality of the interpolation
results, compare the results obtained by other methods and
investigate the achieved quality for different types of scenes.
