Real-Time Image Reconstruction

A method comprising:

• receiving input data for a digital image represented by a plurality of point samples at respective sample locations;
• reconstructing the digital image from the input data for presentation by a display including a plurality of display pixels, the reconstruction including for each of at least some of the display pixels:
• performing a convolution-based, point-sample encoding of a selected display pixel to generate an encoding that identifies point samples of the digital image nearby the selected display pixel;
• and
• interpolating a value of the selected display pixel from at least some of the identified point samples using the generated encoding;
• and
• outputting the reconstructed digital image.

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein that, in response to execution by a processor, cause an apparatus to at least:

• receive input data for a digital image represented by a plurality of point samples at respective sample locations;
• reconstruct the digital image from the input data for presentation by a display including a plurality of display pixels, the reconstruction including for each of at least some of the display pixels, the apparatus being caused to at least:
• perform a convolution-based, point-sample encoding of a selected display pixel to generate an encoding that identifies point samples of the digital image nearby the selected display pixel;
• and
• interpolate a value of the selected display pixel from at least some of the identified point samples using the generated encoding;
• and
• output the reconstructed digital image.
