Image display apparatus, method of displaying images, image processing apparatus, and method of processing images

A method of displaying an image, comprising the steps of:

• adjusting a given original image;
• and
• displaying the adjusted image,
• wherein the step of adjusting the original image includes the steps of:
• when a skipping rate of the original image is set in at least one of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, carrying out a skipping process at selected positions in the at least one of the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and simultaneously carrying out interpolation on non-skipped pixels adjacent to skipped pixels, thereby generating an interpolated image;
• and
• carrying out a filtering process on the interpolated image, the filtering process being carried out with a spatial low pass filter and a spatial high pass filter which are used substantially in this sequence.

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• an image adjustment section that adjusts a given original image,
• wherein the image adjustment section includes:
• an interpolating process section that, when a skipping rate of the original image is set in at least one of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, carries out a skipping process at selected positions in the at least one of the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and simultaneously carries out interpolation on non-skipped pixels adjacent to skipped pixel, thereby generating an interpolated image;
• and
• a filtering section that carries out a filtering process on the interpolated image, the filtering process being carried out with a spatial low pass filter and a spatial high pass filter which are used substantially in this sequence.

A computer program product for processing an image, comprising:

• a computer readable medium;
• and
• a computer program, stored on the computer readable medium, for adjusting a given original image,
• wherein the computer program includes:
• a program for causing a computer, when a skipping rate of the original image is set in at least one of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, to carry out a skipping process at selected positions in the at least one of the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and simultaneously to carry out interpolation on non-skipped pixels adjacent to skipped pixels, thereby generating an interpolated image;
• and
• a program for causing the computer to carry out a filtering process on the interpolated image, the filtering process being carried out with a spatial low pass filter and a spatial high pass filter which are used substantially in this sequence.
