ABSTRACT:
A method for determining intensity of a sub-pixel position within a pixelated image to enhance the image quality thereof. In a first step of this method information is received regarding a first pixel at a position X0,Y0, having an intensity I(X0,Y0). In a second step information is received regarding a second pixel at a position X1,Y0, where said second pixel is adjacent to and to the right of said first pixel. In third step, information is received regarding a third pixel at a position X0,Y1, where the third pixel is adjacent to and below the first pixel. In a fourth step information is received regarding a fourth pixel at a position X1,Y1, where the fourth pixel is adjacent to and to the right of the third pixel. A pixel value, I(X,Y), is then calculated where I(X,Y)=(((Nx−(Nx*(X−X0)))*(Ny−(Ny*(Y−Y0)))*I(X0,Y0))+((Nx−(Nx*(X1−X)))*(Ny−(Ny*(Y−Y0)))*I(X1,Y0))+((Nx−(Nx*(X−X0)))*(Ny−(Ny*(Y1−Y)))*I(X0,Y1))+((Nx−(Nx*(X−X)))*(Ny−(Ny*(Y1−Y)))*I(X1,Y1)))/(Ny*Nx), wherein the digital granularity is Nx per lateral pixel, Ny per vertical pixel and wherein X,Y is a sub-pixel position provided from an upper level system.
