Comparison of interpolation methods for raster images scaling

The article is devoted to the problem of efficient scaling of raster images. We consider some negative effects, related with scaling of raster images. Besides, we consider an analysis of several methods that are used to increase sizes of ras-ter images. Among them are nearest neighbor algorithm, bilinear interpolation, bicubic interpolation. We consider our research methodology, and then we tell about result of algorithms comparison. We use two criteria: quality of output images and performance of algorithms. Due to this research we can tell some recommendations on the choice of algo-rithms for increment of raster images. It is useful because there is no single universal algorithm for efficient solution to the problem.
