Claim One:
1. A method comprising: determining one or more parameter values based on a current exposure level and a current scaling level of image information, wherein determining the one or more parameter values includes determining a horizontal sharpening degree (k H ) and a vertical sharpening degree (k V ), the horizontal sharpening degree being determined independently of the vertical sharpening degree; configuring a horizontal sharpening filter based on the horizontal sharpening degree (k H ); configuring a vertical sharpening filter based on the vertical sharpening degree (k V ), wherein the configured horizontal sharpening filter is configured independently from the configured vertical sharpening filter; applying the configured horizontal sharpening filter to at least one channel of the image information to generate horizontally sharpened information; and applying the configured vertical sharpening filter to the at least one channel of image information to generate vertically sharpened information.
