Abstract

The difference between the output of a k-signal nonlinear low-pass filter () and the output of an h-signal nonlinear low-pass filter () is added () to the value of the h-th pixel signal (h(i, j)) at the pixel position of interest to obtain the k-th pixel signal (k(i, j)) at the pixel position of interest. Accurate pixel interpolation can be performed with good noise immunity, even at locations where the color signals are uncorrelated.
