Image scaling circuit for fixed pixed resolution display

Abstract

An image scaling circuit for increasing or decreasing the size of a sampled image to match a fixed resolution display. The circuit includes means for resizing the image in the horizontal and vertical dimension using independent sample rate converters. The sample rate converters increase or decrease the image size by a factor of Lx/Mx in the horizontal dimension and Ly/My in the vertical dimension where Lx and Ly are integers and Mx and My are decimal numbers of arbitrary precision to provide fine scaling control. In addition, image warping is conveniently implemented by varying the down sample ratios Mx and My on a pixel by pixel and/or line by line basis.
