Abstract

In this paper, we explore image reconstruction by natural neighbour interpolation from irregularly spaced samples. We sample the image irregularly with techniques based on the Laplacian or the derivative in the direction of the gradient. Local coordinates based on the Voronoi diagram are used in natural neighbour interpolation to quantify the "neighbourliness" of data sites. Then we use natural neighbour interpolation in order to reconstruct the image. The main result is that the image quality is always very good in the case of the sampling techniques based on the Laplacian.
