Abstract:
1. A method of interpolating a Bayer image of red, green and blue pixels from a captured input space to an output space for printing, said Bayer image having one of the colors being 50% of the pixels, while the other two colors each are 25% of the pixels the method including the steps of: receiving the Bayer image captured using a Bayer color filter array; and mapping each of the colors to the output space in accordance with the following equations: where x,y is a coordinate in the output space, x′y′ is the coordinate in the input space, ops is the number of pixels in the output space per input space sample, and k 1 & k 2 are either 0 or −0.5 depending on the color and the desired relative rotational orientation of the image.
