Abstract
To interpolate a value for a pixel, multiple patterns are selected. Each pattern is used to determine a pixel angle. One of the determined pixel angles is then selected based on the reliability of the pixel angles. The selected pixel angle can be selected based on its reliability irrespective of the reliability of other pixel angles. The selected pixel angle can then be used to interpolate a value for the target pixel. Dynamic thresholds can be computed for use in either determining a pixel angle for a given pattern, or to select the pixel angle from the available determined pixel angles.
