Abstract
Interpolation is an important step in many applications of image processing. This paper presents a morphological interpolation technique for binary images based on the median set concept. A characteristic of our method is that it treats recursively the connected components of input slices. This technique uses the minimal skeleton by pruning (MSP) as reference points for translating connected components; this fact guarantees the non-empty intersection between them.
