Abstract
A method of processing a sampled input image having pixels which can have missing information at pixel locations to reconstruct an output image therefrom, including providing a mask for the sampled image to identify valid pixel locations; interpolating by convolution with at least one finite impulse response (FIR) filter(s) applied to the information at valid pixel locations to produce reconstructed information for non-valid pixel locations; and adaptively normalizing the reconstructed information for the non-valid pixel locations produced by applying the FIR filter(s) to the mask so that the valid pixels and the reconstructed information at non-valid pixel locations provide a reconstructed image.
