Abstract

In this paper we address the problem of image interpolation using Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) as a prior. Previous methods of image restoration with GMM have not considered spatial (geometric) distance between patches in clustering, failing to fully exploit the coherency of nearby patches. The GMM framework in our method for image interpolation is based on the assumption that the accumulation of similar patches in a neighborhood are derived from a multivariate Gaussian probability distribution with a specific covariance and mean. An Expectation Maximization-like (EM-like) algorithm is used in order to determine patches in a cluster and restore them. The results show that our image interpolation method outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods with an acceptable bound. © 2015 IEEE.
