Patent ID: RE42747

Claim:
A filtering control method for improving the image quality of a bi-linear interpolated image when recovering a high resolution image from a low resolution image, comprising: restoring a requested high resolution image f by finding an added filter coefficient Q of a PSF(P) and a bi-linear interpolation filter B from an equation f=Pg=PBz=Qz, wherein f is the high resolution image as requested, P is the PSF (Point Spread Function), g is the high resolution image found by the bi-linear interpolation method, and z is the low resolution image; wherein the high resolution image f can be restored by performing an added function M(f) definition process for finding the PSF(H) from an equation g=Bz=Hf+n, wherein B, H are bilinear interpolation filters, and n is a noise component generated by the assumed H; and wherein the added function M(f) is defined as M(f)=∥g−Hf∥ 2 +α∥Cf∥ 2 , wherein α is a regularization parameter, and C is a two-dimensional high frequency filter for finding mitigation of the original image.
