Cubic splines for image interpolation and digital filtering

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This paper presents the use of B-splines as a tool in various digital signal processing applications. The theory of B-splines is briefly reviewed, followed by discussions on B-spline interpolation and B-spline filtering. Computer implementation using both an efficient software viewpoint and a hardware method are discussed. Finally, experimental results are presented for illustrative purposes in two-dimensional image format. Applications to image and signal processing include interpolation, smoothing, filtering, enlargement, and reduction.
