Abstract
Techniques for performing panoramic scaling are disclosed that reduce visible distortion in a panoramic image. Further, techniques for performing combined YC adjustment and color conversion are disclosed that reduce the size and power requirements of video manipulation hardware by reducing the number of logic gates and memory buffers required when YC adjustment and color conversion are implemented as separate operations.
Claims8
A method of applying panoramic scaling to an input line to generate an output line, comprising:
- receiving one or more pixels in the input line;
- determining a horizontal scaling ratio to be applied for panoramic scaling;
- and
- applying non-uniform scaling to generate one or more pixels in the output line so as to achieve the horizontal scaling ratio by:
- determining a scaling ratio for an output pixel in the output line based on the horizontal scaling ratio;
- selecting an input signal to generate the output pixel;
- calculating a weight corresponding to the input signal;
- and
- performing interpolation to generate the output pixel using the weight and the input signal.
A method of applying panoramic scaling to an input column to generate an output column, comprising:
- receiving one or more pixels in the input column;
- determining a vertical scaling ratio to be applied for panoramic scaling;
- and
- applying non-uniform scaling to generate one or more pixels in the output column so as to achieve the vertical scaling ratio by
- determining a scaling ratio for an output pixel in the output column based on the vertical scaling ratio;
- selecting an input signal to generate the output pixel;
- calculating a weight corresponding to the input signal;
- and
- performing interpolation to generate the output pixel using the weight and the input signal.
