Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0439714A2] A method for determining the values of pixels in a resulting image having a greater number of pixels than an original image describes a technique for calculating the values of the new pixels in the resulting image. A rectangular region centered on a junction of four pixels in the original image is used as the basis for calculation. This rectangular region contains one-fourth of the adjacent original pixels, and is divided into 8 triangular regions. All of the pixels of the resulting image within a triangular region are given the same color, and the color assigned to the pixels in each such triangular region is a function of the colors of the four adjacent pixels in the original image. <IMAGE>
