Abstract
Aberrations in digital images can be attenuated by computing the image at higher-than-display resolution, convolving it with a two-dimensional filter kernel and decimating the filtered image back to display resolution for presentation. Traditionally, this has been performed using a rectangular sampling grid, which is parallel to the display scan direction. In this paper, the application of a hexagonal sampling grid is proposed. Rectangular and hexagonal processing are discussed, and it is shown that despite the differences in their mathematical bases, their algorithmic implementations are similar. A series of test patterns are presented and evaluated. It is concluded that hexagonal processing results in a greater reduction in aliasing in regions of vertical/near vertical features of images than is achieved by rectangular processing, without any degradation in other regions, and with negligible additional computational effort.
