Resolution enhancement of images using wavelet transform extrema extrapolation
One problem of image interpolation refers to magnifying a small image without loss in image clarity. We propose a wavelet based method which estimates the higher resolution information needed to sharpen the image. This method extrapolates the wavelet transform of the higher resolution based on the evolution of the wavelet transform extrema across the scales. By identifying three constraints that the higher resolution information needs to obey, we enhance the reconstructed image through alternating projections onto the sets defined by these constraints.
