Abstract

We present a method for image interpolation that 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 that of image interpolation which is perceived as visually correct by human observers. We find that it suffices to
focus on exact edge correspondences, homogeneous regions and coherent motion to compute convincing results. A user study
confirms the visual quality of the proposed image interpolation approach. We show how each aspect of our approach increases
perceived quality of the result. We compare the results to other methods and assess achievable quality for different types of
scenes.
