Interpolated Number of Sensor Pixels
Normally, each pixel in the image is based on the measurement in one pixel location.
Interpolated Resolution
A photographic image resolution that is measured in DPI (dots per inch). Computer software has the ability to enhance or increase an image's resolution by guessing at the color of the dot in between dots of a known color.
Interpolated or Enhanced Resolution
One misleading specification is interpolated or enhanced resolution.
Interpolated. Most software programs can enlarge image resolution beyond the actual resolution by adding extra pixels.
interpolated resolution
If a datum, instead of being measured, is calculated based upon the data either side of it, it is said to be interpolated.
Interpolated
Software can "look" at an image, and then create an artificially larger image by adding extra pixels according to a complex algorithm.
The uninterpolated data collected directly from the image sensor before processing.

What does "interpolated resolution" mean?
It's a fancy way of saying "faking it." Let's say a scanner is capable of scanning 300 pixels per linear inch.
Resolution, interpolated. A process that enlarges an image by adding extra pixels without actually capturing light from those pixels in the initial exposure.
Resolution, Interpolated
A number based on adding pixels to the image. Note: interpolation does not add any new information to the image.
Resolution, Optical ...
The image is now interpolated to the final printing size and sharpened. Figure 18 shows the final Layers palette.
DPI optical, not interpolated
Ultimately, how does it look?
Ignore "technical specs" and technology claims ...
CCD raw format The uninterpolated data collected directly from the image sensor before processing. Cepheid Variable A type of luminous giant star whose luminosity varies in a periodic fashion.
Beware of claims about resolution for cameras because there are two kinds of resolution; optical and interpolated.
Many scanners advertise extremely high interpolated resolutions. Interpolated high resolution is just advertising hype. Scanning with these high interpolated resolutions will not provide you with high quality digital images.
True scanner resolution is optical resolution, not interpolated resolution. Interpolated resolution will read higher than optical because it's been enhanced by the software bundled with the scanner.
Some scanners use interpolated resolution which is an "educated guess" made by the scanner to turn a scan into a higher resolution scan. A 300 X 300 scan can be interpolated into a 600 X 600 dpi.
There are three types of resolution: real resolution, native resolution and interpolated resolution.
Some digital cameras might advertise the "interpolated" pixels. As an example, Fujifilm's Super CCD image sensor can capture "effective" pixels of 3.1 megapixels, then its software kicks in and interpolates them up to 6 megapixels.
Some digital cameras on the market claim to have ‘interpolated resolution’ numbers - a camera would be presented as a four megapixel camera but will claim to have eight ‘interpolated pixels’.
The final sharpening of the image should only take place when it has been interpolated to the final size. Smart Sharpen filter can provide good results but is extremely time consuming on large images.
On all cameras except ones using Foveon, 2 of the colors are interpolated. And in all cases, the camera's three colors are not identical to what the eye sees.
That resolution is known as the camera's interpolated resolution. Interpolation creates new pixels from those that exist and inserts them in-between the existing pixels to increase the image's overall resolution.
To be viewable at all, the raw data has to be de-mosaiced, gamma corrected, and interpolated to form separate red, green and blue channels in some color space.
Many scanners and some digital cameras have two resolution figures quoted in their spec sheets - optical and interpolated.
Most scanners allow what is called interpolation, where the scanner fills in the detail between scanned points. Interpolated images, at up to double the dpi of the optical scan, ...
(1) a disturbance in color that interfere with clarity, typically one of the faults found in interpolated colors; ...
Some of these cameras use 'interpolated' pixels... that means the camera adds in extra pixels by electronically guessing how they should fit into your picture...the true megapixel count may be much less.
The color intensity values not captured for each pixel can be interpolated (or guessed) from the values of adjacent pixels which represent the color being calculated.
[edit] Connectivity ...
(compare flatbed scanners and their interpolated resolutions quoted in advertisements as opposed to their effective resolutions).
In this mode, the image will be scrolled fast, displayed using the nearest the neighbor interpolation, then interpolated using a bicubic algorithm in the background and redrawn when the interpolation is complete.
Camera ...
Optical resolution
The true resolution of a scanner and the key factor in determining the amount of detail visible in a image. Optical resolution is one type of resolution; the other is interpolated resolution.
The color information for each pixel is then interpolated from this matix. In order to prevent aliasing, an anti aliasing filter is being used, which impacts the sharpness.
This allows a 10x enlargement when printed at 240 dpi, yielding a 40x50 inch print. Some scanners, such as the Imacon Precision II could not achieve this resolution, so their scans have been interpolated to 2400 ppi from their highest native ...
Mostly used when an image is made larger, but not sharper as interpolated pixels are added.
Iris
Another name for the lens aperture. Just like the Iris of your eye, the small blades inside a lens shift to alter the aperture of the lens.
ISO ...
A few cameras achieve their upper-most resolution through interpolation- that is, the camera actually can only achieve a lower resolution, and then it electronically makes the image larger. These interpolated images are usually not as sharp as a ...
