Topic:
Newton's Interpolation in Image Processing and Computer Vision
Introduction to Interpolation

• Newton's interpolation is a numerical method used to approximate functions.


• It is particularly useful in image processing and computer vision for interpolation
and resampling tasks.
• This method is based on divided differences and is beneficial for unevenly
spaced data points.

Types of interpolation:

◦ Linear
◦ Polynomial
◦ Spline
Newton's Interpolation Formula

Divided Difference Formula:

Pn (x)=f(x0 )+f[x0 ,x1 ](x−x0 )+f[x0 ,x1 ,x2 ](x−x0 )(x−x1 )+…

Explanation of divided differences.


Divided differences are used in Newton’s Interpolation to construct a
polynomial that fits a given set of data points. They help calculate the
coefficients of the Newton polynomial.
Newton's Interpolation in Image Processing
1. Image Resampling and Scaling
•Newton’s interpolation helps in resizing images by estimating pixel values at non-integer
coordinates.
•More efficient for unevenly spaced pixel grids compared to linear interpolation.
2. Image Denoising
•Can be used to interpolate missing or corrupted pixel values.
•Helps reconstruct images with minimal distortion.
3. Feature Extraction in Computer Vision
•Interpolation assists in computing pixel intensity transformations for edge detection and
contour mapping.
4. Motion Estimation and Tracking
•Helps refine motion vector estimation by interpolating intermediate frame values.
•Used in video stabilization and optical flow algorithms.
COMPARISON WITH OTHER METHODS :
Advantages of Newton's Interpolation in Image Processing
•Efficient for non-uniformly spaced data points.
•Higher accuracy compared to linear interpolation.
•Reduces computational complexity in certain applications compared to
higher-degree polynomial interpolations.
Limitations
•Computationally expensive for large datasets.
•Higher-order polynomials may introduce oscillations (Runge’s
phenomenon).
•Requires careful selection of points to avoid numerical instability.
Conclusion:

•Newton's interpolation plays a significant role in image processing and


computer vision by enhancing image quality and accuracy.
•It is widely used in resampling, denoising, feature extraction, and motion
estimation.
•Although computational challenges exist, it remains a powerful tool for
interpolating image data efficiently.
