An image transforming apparatus and method include a linear interpolation
block for generating linear interpolation information for a pixel to be
interpolated between original pixels of a predetermined image; an edge
information generating block for generating edge information and edge
location information; a weight determining block for determining a weight
for the linear interpolation information and the edge information of the
interpolation pixel based on the edge location information; an
interpolation information generating block for determining a pixel value
of the interpolation pixel by reflecting the weight to the edge
information and the linear interpolation information; and an
interpolating block for generating the interpolation pixel based on the
pixel value determined in the interpolation information generating block.
Therefore, an image can be transformed into a high-resolution enlarged
image with an edge area expressed clearly.
