Normalized convolution can be used to restore information that has been lost from an image, such as dead pixels, using the remaining information, and ignoring the incorrect pixels. It is known that the representation quality of an image consisting of a given number of pixels depends on how these pixels are distributed. In this paper, we investigate whether the ability to restore information using normalized convolution is affected by the sampling grid of the image. We compare square and hexagonal grids, and find that, in general, more pixels can be restored in hexagonal grids.
