ABSTRACT:
A system and method for restoring bits of pixels prior to display where the original bits of the pixels were truncated compares each pixel to its neighbors to determine the relative value of each pixel as compared to its neighbors. First, the truncated pixel is shifted. That is, the remaining bits of the pixel are shifted to the left and additional bits are added in the least significant bit positions. Next, the pixel is compared to its neighbors to determine their relative values. For each neighbor that is greater than the pixel in question, the truncated shifted pixel is incremented by one. Similarly, for each neighbor that is less than the pixel in question, the truncated shifted pixel is decremented by one. Once the pixel is evaluated relative to its neighboring pixels, determination of the restored pixel is complete. The restored pixel can then be displayed.
