A 2-dimensional non-linear interpolation system and method based on edge information includes an edge detector, an edge direction modifier, a near-edge coefficient generator, a filter coefficient generator and a non-linear interpolation unit. The edge detector detects edge information among pixels from a video signal applied through an input terminal. The edge direction modifier converts the edge information detected by the edge detector on the basis of a center point among peripheral pixels of an interpolation position and outputs modified edge information. The near-edge coefficient generator converts the coordinates of the interpolation position based on the modified edge information to generate a converted interpolation position, generates edge patterns corresponding to the converted interpolation position, and generates a plurality of 2-dimensional interpolation coefficients in response to predetermined one-dimensional non-linear interpolation filter coefficients. The filter coefficient generator generates the one-dimensional non-linear interpolation filter coefficients in response to the coordinates of the converted interpolation position, the edge patterns and predetermined one-dimensional filter coefficients. The non-linear interpolation unit multiplies data values associated with the peripheral pixels by the plurality of 2-dimensional non-linear interpolation coefficients to perform non-linear interpolation. Accordingly, even when a video image is magnified using non-linear interpolation, the resolution of a text or graphic image can be maintained without distortion of edges and aliasing.
