Abstract
Standard interpolation techniques are implicitly based on the assumption that the signal lies on a homogeneous domain. In this letter, the proposed interpolation method instead exploits prior information about domain inhomogeneity, characterized by different, potentially overlapping, subdomains. By introducing a domain-similarity metric for each sample, the interpolation process is then based on a domain-informed consistency principle. We illustrate and demonstrate the feasibility of domain-informed linear interpolation in 1D, and also, on a real fMRI image in 2D. The results show the benefit of incorporating domain knowledge so that, for example, sharp domain boundaries can be recovered by the interpolation, if such information is available.
