Classified adaptive spatio-temporal format conversion method and apparatus

A system for translating correlated input data to output data, said system comprising:

• choosing logic configured to choose a standard orientation of a given orientation pixel which is defined according to each output data position;
• flipping logic configured to flip said input data to align said output data position with the output position of said standard orientation of the given orientation pixel;
• classification logic configured to perform a classification using said flipped input data;
• filter logic coupled to said classification logic, said filter logic configured to select a filter according to said classification and generate the output data using said selected filter.

A computer readable medium comprising instructions which when executed in a processing system, perform a process for translating input data to output data, comprising:

• choosing a standard orientation of a given orientation pixel which is defined according to each output data position;
• flipping said input data to align said output data position with the output position of said standard orientation of the given orientation pixel;
• performing a classification using said flipped input data;
• selecting a filter according to said classification;
• and
• applying said selected filter to said flipped input data to generate the output data.

An apparatus for translating input data to output data comprising:

• means for choosing a standard orientation of a given orientation pixel which is defined according to each output data position;
• means for flipping said input data to align said output data position with the output position of said standard orientation of the given orientation pixel;
• means for performing a classification using said flipped input data;
• means for selecting a filter according to said classification;
• and
• means for applying said filter to said flipped input data to generate the output data.
