1. A method of smoothing MAPS compressed image data including video data and coefficients for a central block of pixels and video data and coefficients for a plurality of surround areas, said method comprising the steps of:

  • arranging coefficients for surround areas CS1 through CSi symmetrically so they are divided into at least two equal groups;

    storing the coefficients of one of the equal groups in an order coinciding with the arranging step;

    retrieving stored coefficients by accessing the stored coefficients in a first sequence for one of the equal groups and accessing the stored coefficients in an opposite sequence for the other of the equal groups; and

    utilizing the retrieved coefficients and the video data to calculate the output value for any pixel (n) in the central block of pixels from the equation ##EQU2## Where;

    D=video data for the central block,Cn =coefficient for the central block,DSi =video data for the surround areas 1 through i, andCSi =coefficient for the surround areas 1 through i;

    andapplying the calculated output value to display apparatus to produce an image from the compressed image data.
