Abstract
En 中文
Subpixel-based image down-sampling has been widely used to improve the apparent resolution of down-sampled images on display. However, previous subpixel rendering methods often introduce distortions, such as aliasing and color-fringing. This study proposes a novel subpixel rendering method that uses selective sampling and optimal filtering. We first generalize the previous frequency domain analysis results indicating the relationships between various down-sampling patterns and the aliasing artifact. Based on this generalized analysis, a subpixel-based down-sampling pattern for each image is selectively determined by utilizing the edge distribution of the image. Moreover, we investigate the origin of the color-fringing artifact in the frequency domain. Optimal spatial filters that can effectively remove distortions caused by the selected down-sampling pattern are designed via frequency domain analyses of aliasing and color-fringing. The experimental results show that the proposed method is not only robust to the aliasing and color-fringing artifacts but also outperforms the existing ones in terms of information preservation.
