METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCALING IMAGE DATA
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing image data having a plurality of pixels, the method comprising:
- buffering at least one portion of the pixels of the image data;
determining whether a target pixel set of the image data corresponds to one of a plurality of predetermined patterns, wherein the predetermined patterns correspond to at least two processing algorithms; and
processing the target pixel set according to one of the at least two processing algorithms when the target pixel set corresponds to one of the predetermined patterns.
