Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for graphically processing video objects containing texture data, said device comprising a filtering circuit (11) for subsampling a video object, and a video object composition unit (13) for applying texture data of the video object to a graphical form via a geometric transformation. The video object composition unit calculates a subsampling factor using parameters of the geometric transformation, said subsampling factor then being used by the filtering circuit to subsample the video object. The video object composition unit then applies the subsampled video object to the graphical shape with a view to displaying a visual scene on the screen.

Claims

1. A device for graphically processing video objects containing texture data, said device comprising:

a filtering circuit (11) able to subsample a video object, and

a video object composition unit (13) able to apply texture data of the video object to a graphical form via a geometric transformation, said device being characterized in that;

the video object composition unit is able to calculate a subsampling factor from parameters of the geometric transformation,

the filtering circuit is able to subsample the video object according to the subsampling factor, and

the video object composition unit is able to apply the subsampled video object to the graphical shape.

2. A device for graphically processing video objects as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that it also comprises an intermediate memory (20) able to temporarily store the subsampled video object issuing from the filtering circuit (11) and to supply said subsampled video object to the video object composition unit (13).
