Image Quality—HyPict™ Image Enhancement Technology
Many digital cameras use an interpolation method to produce images with higher resolution than the camera's
CCD can capture. EPSON HyPict image enhancement technology uses an exclusive interpolation method.
The EPSON HyPict image enhancement technology uses
an in-camera processing system to interpolate an image
using full image data.
After the image is interpolated, the camera then converts
it to JPEG file format.
Other image enhancement technologies convert to JPEG
file format before enhancement. Since JPEG conversion
removes image data, these technologies do not use full
image data for the interpolation, resulting in less accurate
images.
EPSON HyPict image enhancement technology produces more
accurate results because it applies image enhancement before
JPEG compression.
