ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for improving image clarity through sub-pixel positioning of the image in a grid space based on pixel homogeneity scores. The pixel homogeneity scores indicating the uniformity of state for sub-pixels produced from an over-sampling of the pixels within the grid space. A representation of an image (or at least a portion thereof) is positioned at various sub-pixel locations with in the grid space, and pixel homogeneity scores are calculated for the various locations. Based on a comparison of the pixel homogeneity scores, a position to display the image is chosen such that image rendering is optimized or at least improved.
