ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for processing the output data of an image sensor are provided. According to the apparatus and method, high quality pictures can be obtained regardless of whether the difference between intensities of different colors sensed in an arbitrary pixel of the image sensor is regular or irregular. Also, all edges of an image, including horizontal edges, vertical edges, diagonal edges, corner edges, and thick or thin edges, can be adaptively processed. The apparatus for processing the output data of an image sensor, the apparatus operating according to the method for processing the output data of an image sensor, has a line memory module, a delay mode, a directional coefficient value selector, and an adaptive interpolator. The method for processing the output data of an image sensor includes storing the output data of the image sensor, selecting a plurality of directional coefficient values using the stored output data of the image sensor and the output of the image sensor which is currently input, and an interpolation step for calculating data on a color signal desired to be obtained, using the plurality of direction coefficients selected and the output data of the image sensor. The plurality of directional coefficients are a first directional coefficient for indicating which component the edge of the pixel has from among the horizontal component, the vertical component, and the diagonal component, a second directional coefficient for indicating the degree of the horizontal edge component and a third directional coefficient for indicating the degree of the vertical edge component.
