Regularized iterative image interpolation and its application to spatially scalable coding

This paper presents a regularized iterative image interpolation algorithm, which can restore high frequency details in the original high resolution image. In order to apply the regularization approach to the interpolation procedure, we first present a two-dimensional separable image degradation model for a low resolution imaging system. According to the model, we propose a regularization based spatial image sequence interpolation algorithm and apply the proposed algorithm to a spatially scalable coding.
