First Claim
1. A method of converting resolution of an input video signal, the method comprising:
- calculating up-sampling and down-sampling ratios based on a resolution of the input video signal and a desired resolution of an output video signal;
calculating a number of filter tabs by multiplying up-sampling and down-sampling ratios by a number of side lobes;
calculating first filter coefficients of a same number of filter tabs by multiplying a window function by a sinc function;
calculating final filter coefficients of a filter by subtracting a result of a multiplication of a Gaussian function by the window function from the first filter coefficients, and then normalizing the final filter coefficients; and
performing filtering in vertical and horizontal directions based on the final filter coefficients by modifying a sampling rate of the input video signal depending on the up-sampling and down-sampling ratios.
