Abstract
In an image replication circuit, the improvement of replicating a given element at a certain location with the most similar of surrounding sets of image elements.
Claims3
1-56. (canceled)
The method of improving the quality of an image which may be displayed on an image display device, including the step of selecting a plurality of pixels of said image,
- the step of comparing a first of said selected pixels to a second of said selected pixels and including the further step of altering voids in said image in response to said comparing step.
An improved signal processing circuit for filling in a void located at a position having at least partially surrounding image elements,
- said circuit including providing means to provide at least two sets of surrounding image elements,
- similarity means to compare each said set of surrounding image elements to determine the similarity between the elements therein respectively, and to select the most similar set,
- and replication means to fill the void with at least one image element from the set of said at least two sets of surrounding image elements which contain the most similar image elements.
