Abstract
Image signal processing has the steps of: judging from four pixels adjacent to an object pixel whether the object pixel constitutes a single edge; judging whether the single edge is horizontal or vertical, if it is judged that the object pixel constitutes the single edge; and interpolating the object pixel in accordance with at least right and left two pixels adjacent to the object pixel in a horizontal direction, if it is judged that the single edge is horizontal, and interpolating the object pixel in accordance with at least upper and lower two pixels adjacent to the object pixel in a vertical direction, if it is judged that the single edge is vertical.
