Abstract
Methods and processing modules upsample a block of input pixels to determine a block of upsampled pixels. At least one of the upsampled pixels is a diagonal pixel, wherein a diagonal pixel is at a position that is not in any of the rows nor in any of the columns of input pixels in the block of input pixels. Indications of image gradients are determined for the block of input pixels. The determined indications of image gradients are used to determine one or more weighting parameters which are indicative of weights of a diagonal kernel. The upsampled pixels of the block of upsampled pixels are determined by applying kernels to the block of input pixels, wherein the diagonal pixel in the block of upsampled pixels is determined by applying the diagonal kernel to the block of input pixels in accordance with the determined one or more weighting parameters.
