Patent ID: 7110012

Claim:
A method for re-sampling an image having at least three color channels having chromatic information and luminance information comprising the steps of: (a) re-sampling said luminance information using a first re-sampling process and attenuating at least a portion of lower frequency chromatic information with respect to at least a portion of higher frequency chromatic information resulting from said re-sampling of said luminance information; (b) re-sampling said chromatic information of said image using a second re-sampling process, at least one of: (i) re-sampling of said luminance information is different than said re-sampling of said chromatic information; and (ii) said second process processes pixels of said image in a manner different than said first process; (c) combining said re-sampled luminance information, said re-sampled chromatic information, and at least a portion of said higher frequency chromatic information into a re-sampled image.
