In some embodiments, instead of using a demultiplexer (160-2) as illustrated in 
A high pass filter (210-2) that preserves high spatial frequency content in the vertical direction may be applied to the first LE portion (202-L) to yield a high pass LE portion. An up-sampler 206-H in the demultiplexer (160-3) may be configured to up-sample the high pass LE portion in the horizontal direction to create a high pass LE image frame (212-2) that comprises high spatial frequency content in the vertical direction.
An adder (222) in the demultiplexer (160-3) may be configured to accept the high pass LE image frame (212-2) and the LE image frame (208-V) as input and to apply an adding operation on the high pass LE image frame (212-2) and the LE image frame (208-V) to generate the full resolution LE image frame (162-L) that comprises high spatial frequency content in both vertical and horizontal directions.
