Second-Order Regression-Based MR Image Upsampling.
The spatial resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often limited due to several reasons, including a short data acquisition time. Several advanced interpolation-based image upsampling algorithms have been developed to increase the resolution of MR images. These methods estimate the voxel intensity in a high-resolution (HR) image by a weighted combination of voxels in the original low-resolution (LR) MR image. As these methods fall into the zero-order point estimation framework, they only include a local constant approximation of the image voxel and hence cannot fully represent the underlying image structure(s). To this end, we extend the existing zero-order point estimation to higher orders of regression, allowing us to approximate a mapping function between local LR-HR image patches by a polynomial function. Extensive experiments on open-access MR image datasets and actual clinical MR images demonstrate that our algorithm can maintain sharp edges and preserve fine details, while the current state-of-the-art algorithms remain prone to some visual artifacts such as blurring and staircasing artifacts.
