Short kernel fifth-order interpolation

An explicit analytical formula for a short kernel fifth-order polynomial interpolator is obtained. It is also possible to obtain the explicit forms of even higher order interpolation kernels with the method of calculation used, hut it is seen that these local kernels become ''remainder-dominated'' as the order increases. The frequency domain properties and the accuracies of the obtained kernel and the known convolution kernels are compared, Frequency domain comparison with the cubic B-spline interpolators is also given. Some cases of proper use of the calculated kernels hare been pointed out.
