Abstract
Provided is an image magnifying apparatus capable of suppressing generation of an interpolation pixel causing deterioration in image quality while considering correlation in an oblique direction in an image at the time of interpolation. The image magnifying apparatus includes: an input interface configured to receive an input signal including an image; at least one processor to implement: a selector configured to select one of a plurality of different interpolation methods, used for interpolating a pixel for an interpolation object position in the image, based on information about the interpolation object position and peripheral pixels thereof; and an interpolator configured to generate an interpolation pixel for an interpolation object position by applying the selected interpolation method; and an output interface configured to output a magnified image including the selected interpolation pixel.
