We consider the image interpolation problem where given an image v with uniformly-sampled pixels vm,n and point spread function h, the goal is to find function u(x,y) satisfying so that u approximates the underlying function from which v was sampled. This article is a joint submission with [8] and improves upon the IPOL article Image Interpolation with Contour Stencils [7]. In [7], contour stencils are used to estimate the image contours locally as short line segments. This article begins with a continuous formulation of total variation integrated over a collection of curves and defines contour stencils as a consistent discretization. This discretization is more reliable than the previous approach and can effectively distinguish contours that are locally shaped like lines, curves, corners, and circles. These improved contour stencils sense more of the geometry in the image.”
