With the ever increasing computational power of modern day processors, it has become feasible to use more
robust and computationally complex algorithms that increase the resolution of images without distorting edges
and contours. We present a novel image interpolation algorithm that uses the new contourlet transform to
improve the regularity of object boundaries in the generated images. By using a simple wavelet-based linear
interpolation scheme as our initial estimate, we use an iterative projection process based on two constraints
to drive our solution towards an improved high-resolution image. Our experimental results show that our new
algorithm significantly outperforms linear interpolation in subjective quality, and in most cases, in terms of
PSNR as well.
