Exercise

Interpolation

Interpolation is how new pixel intensities are estimated when an image transformation is applied. It is implemented in SciPy using sets of spline functions.

Editing the interpolation order when using a function such as ndi.zoom() modifies the resulting estimate: higher orders provide more flexible estimates but take longer to compute.

For this exercise, upsample im and investigate the effect of different interpolation orders on the resulting image.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Use ndi.zoom() to upsample im from a shape of 128, 128 to 512, 512 twice. First, use an interpolation order of 0, then set order to 5.
  • Print the array shapes of im and up0.
  • Plot close-ups of the images. Use the index range 128:256 along each axis.
