ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an iterative method for determining an interpolated image information value in an image that comprises a number of image regions arranged in a matrix-like fashion having original image regions to which one image information value has been assigned, and having at least one image region to be interpolated. In order to determine an interpolated image information value, the method specifies a starting interpolation direction and determines a quality measure for the starting interpolation direction. At least one image direction is selected different from the starting interpolation direction and determining a quality measure for this at least one image direction. The quality measures for the starting interpolation direction are compared and the at least one image direction different from the starting interpolation direction, selecting as the interpolation direction the starting interpolation direction or the at least one image direction, and determining the interpolated image information value using image regions that are located in the interpolation direction adjacent to the to-be-interpolated first image region. The steps of selecting and comparing are repeated at least once.
