METHODS USED IN INCREASED RESOLUTION PROCESSING - Polygon Based Interpolation and Robust Log-polar Based Registration

Abstract

A polygon-based interpolation algorithm is presented for use in stacking RAW CCD images. The algorithm improves on linear interpolation in this scenario by closely describing the underlying geometry. 25 frames are stacked in a comparison. When stacking images, it is required that these images are accurately aligned. We present a novel implementation of the log-polar transform that overcomes its prohibitively expensive computation, resulting in fast, robust image registration. This is demonstrated by registering and stacking CCD frames of stars taken by a telescope.
