A digital picture can be enlarged in size by adding new pixels to the existing grid. Some camera and scanner software do this as the picture is processed to give higher resolution results.

Interpolation
Interpolation is a process employed by digital cameras and photo editing software to make an image larger. The algorithms sample pixels and 'guesstimates' what the extra pixels required should look like.
Interlaced ...

Interpolation - This is a way to increase or decrease the number of pixels in your image. The quality of enlarged images is heavily dependent on this method.

INTERPOLATION - Adding new pixels to a digital image between existing pixels. Interpolation software analyzes the adjacent pixels to create the new ones.

Interpolation   The process of increasing the resolution of a photo.
Image Resolution   The amount of data stored in an image file, measured in pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI).

Interpolation
A method of increasing image resolution artificially. A digital camera relies on its internal hardware components to capture images.

Interpolation The process whereby an image-editing program adds supplemental pixels that are created from the image's existing, neighboring pixels, in effect creating a file with more image data and thus producing better image output.

Interpolation: The process of adding or subtracting pixels to an image (usually in an imaging program) to increase or reduce its size at a desired resolution. Also known as resampling or upsampling and downsampling.

Interpolation
Interpolation is a mathematical formula used in software to calculate the color of the missing pixels based on the color of surrounding pixels. This can be used to increase its resolution.

Interpolation: Adding pixels to an image to increase the size it can be printed at. Also known as Resampling. Does not add extra detail or information. 'Makes up' the new pixels from adjacent ones. Can lead to lower image quality.

Interpolation Especially, it spaces out - redraws - the picture on a bigger canvas and intelligently fills in the gaps with the most appropriately coloured pixel.

Interpolation. In an image interpolation adds extra pixels. It’s done with some zoom lenses.

Interpolation - An algorithm used to create pixels based on existing pixel data when you scale an image.

Interpolation - A method of changing the size, resolution, or colors in an image by calculating the pixels used to represent the new image from the old ones.

Interpolation
A process that increases image file size and can take place either in the camera or by computer software. Interpolation is used to magnify a picture but does not improve image quality and in fact it can decrease sharpness.

Interpolation - Also known as 'resampling,' it refers to how some cameras and editing software can increase the size of an image by adding pixels in between the original ones.

Interpolation
Method used to increase the resolution of an image map by adding pixels to an image based on the value of surrounding pixels. This method can cause artifacting.
IR ...

interpolation:
An averaging process used to estimate an unknown image value bracketed by two or more known image values. In image processing, interpolation is used to smooth the edge lines of images when the resolution of the image is changed.

interpolation
(1) matrix for comparison of central pixels to surrounding pixels, used to increase the apparent resolution of a digital image; ...

Interpolation
Method used in software to increase the resolution of a digital image. The software adds pixels to an image based on the value of surrounding pixels, thereby increasing its resolution. This method can cause artifacts.

interpolation
The addition of pixels between pairs of others. Usually made necessary when enlarging a bitmap.
intraframe encoding ...

Interpolation
In the context of digital photography, interpolation is most often referred to as the process of re-sampling an image to either add or remove pixels.

Interpolation. A technique that digital cameras, scanners, and image editors use to create new pixels based on the values of surrounding pixels whenever an image is resized or changed in resolution.

Interpolation
Calculating non-existent image data from captured image data. Interpolation is used by all digital cameras to determine colour data from neighbouring sensors.

Interpolation: interpolate
1. to insert between or among others
2. to change by putting in new material
3. to estimate a missing value by taking an average of known values at neighboring points.

Interpolation (Resampling)
Artificially increasing or decreasing the number of pixels in an image through the use of an algorithm.

Interpolation is the process wherein the software calculates the new value of a pixel based on an examination of the surrounding pixels.

Interpolation means calculating intermediate values. When you enlarge ('digitally zoom') or otherwise transform (rotate, shear or give perspective to) a digital image, ...

interpolation, nearest neighbor, bicubic
Interpolation is the method used to scale the image to a different size.

INTERPOLATION: Most commonly associated with sizing or resizing a digital image.

Hue interpolation
Log hue interpolation
[edit] Adaptive
These algorithms adapt their method of estimation (i.e. the estimation formula) depending on features of the area surrounding the pixel of interest.

The interpolation has added enough created pixel resolution to no longer look extremely pixelated. This interpolation would result in a suitable output at about 33x22 inches at 300 ppi.

The interpolation of the image to the target size and the following sharpening should be carried out while the image is in the editing color space (Prophoto, Adobe RGB or Gray Gamma 2.2).

if 72dpi images are enlarged by 200% without using proper upsizing processes, such as interpolation.

This is because enlarging requires the program to add pixels—a process called interpolation. The computer analyzes adjoining pixels to determine the color of the new ones it inserts.

Interpolation, however, can be good in another situation. When the scanner is being used at less than its maximum dpi capability, some scanners simply skip readings.

If the data is stored as a JPEG file, it goes through the Bayer interpolation, is modified by in camera set parameters such as white balance, saturation, sharpness, contrast etc, is subject to JPEG compression and then stored.

Some digital cameras then apply a built-in sharpening function, often to counteract the effects of interpolation.
As the adjustment of in-camera sharpness levels is usually rather limited, jaggies or artifacts can become more visible.

This is due to the bicubic interpolation that is being used when you rotate an image. Since the RAW conversion also involves anti-aliasing (for color interpolation), the image needs sharpening anyways.

After experimenting with Genuine Fractals, resampling in Paint Shop Pro, and leaving it at 113 dpi, I decided to upsample the whole image 2x using bicubic interpolation before printing.

If you want a specific Resolution for your result, you can specify that too and your image will be resampled using the default Interpolation method specified in your Photoshop preferences.

Although it is tempting to push the resolution beyond the optical limit of your scanner using interpolation, where the software fills in the detail between individual scanned point, you should, if hoping to sell the results, ...

Resample
To change the resolution of an image through interpolation. Resampling downwards discards information and resampling upwards creates new information based on adjacent pixels.
(see Image resolution) ...

I repeat, zero loss or interpolation. The printer Demanded at least 150 dpi, i told them to just print the file and call me back. an hour later "I cant believe there is no loss in this image, How did you know?" was the phone call i got.

This is a process called "interpolation," which simply means adding extra dots of light (pixels) to make the image larger. Image quality degrades a bit when this happens, but is generally acceptable.

Digital zooms then use interpolation to magnify the image, but increased digital noise and expansion artifacts degrade the resultant image quality.

It is important to note that interpolation doesn't add any new information to the image - it just makes it bigger! ...

Some cameras use a digital zoom (or a combination of the two). Digital zooming involves further interpolation and usually leads to a degradation in image quality.
Macro lenses ...

Resample - Resampling an image changes its resolution through interpolation, making calculations using already known values.

The resolution of the image sensor governs the resolution of the camera, although some cameras can produce increased pixel counts using interpolation software - particularly with multi-CCD sensors.

the process used in digital zooming to add pixels using color and brightness information in the original image. Designed to guess or estimate a better image resolution, interpolation produces a lower-quality image than optical zooming.

Interpolated Resolution adds pixels to the image using complex software algorithms to determine what color they should be. It is important to note that interpolation doesn't add any new information to the image - it just makes it bigger! ...

Interpolation
The process of creating pixels that appear in between other pixels as an image is magnified. Mostly used when an image is made larger, but not sharper as interpolated pixels are added.
Iris
Another name for the lens aperture.

Does it look as good as a true 1200 ppi scan? Nope. Could you take your 300 ppi scan and enlarge it in Photoshop using Photoshop's bicubic interpolation software and get pretty well the same results? Yep.
