Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The bit-length is decided by the quantization of image capture devices. Therefore the bit-length expansion technique is also necessary for low bit-length captured images. If we expand bit-length of these images by using most bit-length expanding algorithms, pseudo contouring effect is observed in smooth gradient area. The bit-length expansion process and inverse quantization process are equivalent. Inverse quantization is able to perform by suitable filtering. We have already proposed the bit-length expansion method using a nonlinear filter with adaptive window size. Our method was shown effective for bit-length expansion from 4bit to 6bit. In this paper, we confirm the versatility of the proposed method through the bit-length expansion problems from 5bit to 7bit and from 4bit to 7bit. Our method realizes the excellent bit-length expanded results compare to conventional methods in these problems.
