This master's thesis deals with methods of increasing the image resolution. It contens as a description of theoretical principles and description of calculations which are wellknown nowdays and are usually used for increasing image resolution both description of new methods which are used in this area of image procesing. It also contens a method which I suggested myself. There is also a description of methods for an evaluation of image similarity and a comparation of results from methods which are described in this thesis. This thesis includes implementations of selected methods in programming language MATLAB. It was created an application, which realizes some methods of increasing image and evaluate their results relation to the original image using PSNR and SSIM index.
