A method, graphics card, system, and data stream for generating a deep pixel display on a display device are provided. A first set of data relating to a region associated with a display is provided. The first set of data is processed to define a pixel definition. A second set of data relating to the first pixel is determined. At least one portion of the first set of data is rearranged to form at least a portion of the second set of data. A deep pixel is defined based upon the second set of data. The present invention also includes a system that includes a display controller that is adapted to define a deep pixel based upon rearranging the portion of the first set of data.

An image processing device includes an in-plane pattern detector that selects a pixel of interest in a frame image of interest, calculates in-plane correlation index values representing correlations between the pixel of interest and in-plane pixel patterns including the pixel of interest, and selects a most highly correlated pattern as an in-plane addition pattern. A reference pattern detector calculates inter-plane correlation index values representing correlations between the in-plane pixel addition pattern and reference pixel patterns in a reference frame image temporally adjoining the frame of interest, and selects a most highly correlated reference pixel pattern. A pixel adder adds the values of the pixels in the selected in-plane pixel pattern and the selected reference pixel addition pattern to generate a corrected pixel value, thereby achieving high sensitivity and a high signal-to-noise ratio under low illumination, with little loss of resolution.

The invention relates to an image processing device for processing image data from a digital camera comprising an image sensor with a regular pixel arrangement and an associated colour filter with a predetermined colour pattern. Said image processing device (133) is designed to carry out all image processing operations with respect to a pixel (130) of interest using image data from a single predetermined environment (131) comprising several pixels.

Methods and apparatus for the generation of interpolated frames of video data. In one embodiment, the interpolated frames of video data are generated by obtaining two or more frames of video data; performing Lagrangian interpolation on one or more portions of the obtained two or more frames of video data to generate a Lagrangian interpolated image; performing Eulerian interpolation on one or more portions of the obtained two or more frames to generate a Eulerian interpolated image; and when the Lagrangian interpolated image and the Eulerian interpolated image should be combined, computing an average interpolated image using the Lagrangian interpolated image and the Eulerian interpolated image; otherwise, selecting either the Lagrangian interpolated image or the Eulerian interpolated image; and generating an interpolated frame of video data using one or more of the average interpolated image, the Lagrangian interpolated image, or the Eulerian interpolated image.
