Bicubic interpolation is one of the standard approaches for image magnification since it can be easily computed and does not require a priori knowledge nor a complicated model. In spite of such convenience, the images enlarged by bicubic interpolation are blurry, in particular for large magnification factors. This may be explained by four constraints of bicubic interpolation. Hence, by relaxing or replacing the constraints, we propose a new magnification method, which performs better than bicubic interpolation, but retains its compactness. One of the constraints is about criterion, which we replace by a criterion requiring that all pixel values are reproduced and preferential components in input images are perfectly reconstructed. We show that, by choosing the low frequency components or edge enhancement components in the DCT basis as the preferential components, the proposed method performs better than bicubic interpolation, with the same, or even less amount of computation.
