Abstract

A method includes determining a lowest-score interpolation direction among a plurality of interpolation directions. The method further includes calculating a candidate pixel value by interpolating along the lowest-score interpolation direction. The method further includes applying a median function to a set of pixel values. The set of pixel values includes (a) the candidate pixel value, (b) at least one pixel value from a line of pixels that is immediately above a pixel location that is currently being interpolated, and (c) at least one pixel value from a line of pixel values that is immediately below the pixel location that is currently being interpolated.
