Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods for providing a multi-feature, programmable tap filter architecture for image processing are disclosed. In one implementation, a system includes an image data source for providing image pixel data, an image filtering coefficient source for providing a plurality of image filtering coefficient sets, and image processing logic capable of at least filtering the image pixel data using one or more image filtering coefficient sets specified by one or more indicators. The processing logic being also capable of blending adjacent and/or non-adjacent tap filter outputs to generate blended tap filter outputs.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- configuring at least a first indicator;
- selecting a coefficient set in response to at least the first indicator;
- and
- filtering image data using the selected coefficient set.
A system comprising:
- an image data source for providing image pixel data;
- an image filtering coefficient source for providing a plurality of image filtering coefficient sets;
- and
- image processing logic responsive to the image data source and to the image filtering coefficient source, the image processing logic capable of at least filtering the image pixel data using one or more image filtering coefficient sets specified by one or more indicators.
A device comprising:
- an image filtering coefficient source for providing a plurality of image filtering coefficient sets;
- a register, the register including one or more indicators;
- and
- image processing logic responsive to the image filtering coefficient source and to the one or more indicators, the image processing logic capable of at least the following;
- selecting one or more image filtering coefficient sets of the plurality of image filtering coefficient sets in response to the one or more indicators;
- and
- filtering image data using filtering coefficients of the one or more selected coefficient sets.
