METHOD FOR IMAGE INTERPOLATION USING ASYMMETRIC INTERPOLATION FILTER AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

A sub-pel-unit image interpolation method using a transformation-based interpolation filter includes, selecting, based on a sub-pel-unit interpolation location in a region supported by a plurality of interpolation filters for generating at least one sub-pel-unit pixel value located between integer-pel-unit pixels, one of a symmetric interpolation filter and an asymmetric interpolation filter from among the plurality of interpolation filters; and using the selected interpolation filter to generate the at least one sub-pel-unit pixel value by interpolating the integer-pel-unit pixels.
