Notes:

(1)   The new edge directed interpolation method in [1] is labeled as “NEDI”;

(2)   The directional filtering and data fusion method in [2] is labeled as “DFDF”;

(3)   The soft-decision and adaptive interpolation method in [3] is labeled as “SAI”;

(4)   The sparse representation based algorithm in [4] is labeled as “ScSR”;

(5)   The sparse mixing estimation based interpolation method in [5] is labeled as “SME”;

(6)   The proposed interpolation method is labeled as “NARM_SRM_NL”.

The other three variants of the proposed method (i.e., “SRM”, “SRM_NL”, and “NARM_SRM”) and the two DCT-based methods (i.e., “DCT_SRM” and “DCT_NARM_SRM_NL”), as shown in the experimental part of the revised manuscript, are also included in the zip files.
