Abstract
An image conversion unit () for converting an input image into an output image includes a first computing device () for computing a first weighted sum of a first group of pixel values, the first group of pixel values corresponding to pixels of the input image; a second computing device () for computing a second weighted sum of a second group of interpolated values, the second group of interpolated values being computed by interpolation for spatial locations which are not present at the sampling grid of the input image; a combining device () for computing a third sum by combining the first weighted sum and the second weighted sum; and a clipping device () for clipping the third sum between a minimum value and a maximum value, the minimum value and the maximum value being derived from pixel values of the input image.
