Example Interpolation

BoofCV provides abstract interfaces to apply different interpolation methods to all of its images. Bilinear is by far the most widely used interpolation method in computer vision.

Example Code:

Concepts:

  • Interpolation
  • Image Distortion


Example Code

/**
 * Interpolation is used to convert an image, which is discrete by its nature, into a (piecewise) smooth function.
 * Interpolation is in many CV applications, such as feature detection, and when distorting images. In this
 * example a low resolution is scaled up using several different techniques to make the differences easily visible.
 * For computer vision applications bilinear interpolation is almost always used.
