Resolution enhancement and quality assessment of MRI images using different interpolation techniques

The purpose of resolution enhancement is to process a given original low resolution image to improve the resolution. Various field requires high resolution images for processing and analysis. Interpolation is a technique through which images are improved. In this paper, scheme of image resolution is used to reconstruct high resolution MRI images from low resolution MRI images using different interpolation techniques. Quality assessment parameters like PSNR, Mean, Variance, Entropy and standard deviation has been calculated to assess quality of image.
