Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for increasing the resolution of a data sequence, such as for example a video data sequence. Between two data values of a given data sequence at least one intermediate value is interpolated by applying low-pass filtering and at least one first and one second high-pass filterings to data values of the data sequence, subjecting the filter values obtained by the high-pass filterings to rank-order filtering and combining the filter result so obtained with the filter result obtained by low-pass filtering.
