[Insight-users] [ITK Community] Upsampling and Interpolators

[Bradley Lowekamp]

There is a separate filter which is optimized to just upscale an image by an integer factor, called "ExpandImageFilter". I have a little SimpleITK notebook on it here:

I was wondering if I should better divide the 4D image  into a vector of 3D images so the interpolator wouldn't mix different times frames or it doesn't matter. ( also because I am interested in performance). Is it ok to use the linear interpolator for MRI? Or I should use BSPline? If so, is it faster to work on 3D  for the splines??
