The invention provides a subdivision rational surface (forward) depixeling technology which is the only image processing technology comprising a depixeling process so far in the field of digital image processing. The invention aims to solve the pixilated problem caused by the low sampling rate of an image equipment and solve the image shape blur caused by poor posture stability by the way. Firstly, assuming that subdivided rational surfaces can approach the brightness outline of an observed source, and then the rational surfaces are subjected to multiple times of virtual observation with the completely same condition of real observation. Finally, the virtual observation is allowed to mostly approach the real observation, and the coefficients of the subdivided rational surfaces are determined. According to the technology, a relatively basic depixeling problem is solved, and a higher image contrast and a sharper source shape can be obtained. Thus the technology has wide range of use in the fields of astronomy with very high requirement of the pixel resolution of an image and microphysics and even can be used in the field of microbiology, medicine, and digital surveillance.
