ABSTRACT:
A method includes receiving image information representing at least one image. The image information defines multiple pixels in the at least one image. The method also includes identifying filter weights associated with the pixels. The filter weights are based on edge contents of at least a portion of the at least one image. In addition, the method includes filtering the image information using the identified filter weights.
