Quality enhancement in image enlargement [PDF]

, 1995
Interpolation methods, usually employed in image enlargement, cause a degradation of the image quality in proximity to the edges. In fact, the best interpolation leads to fuzziness effects often due to the image features ignored during the process. In order to have a contained definition loss after the enlargement operation, it is necessary to consider
