Abstract

An image processor for converting an input matrix of input pixels into an output matrix of output pixels, where the number of input pixels differs from the number of output pixels. From the input matrix, the image processor generates an intermediate resolution matrix. The number of pixels in a particular dimension of the intermediate resolution matrix is an integer multiple of the desired number of output pixels in the same dimension. This enables the image processor to select from the intermediate resolution matrix output pixels which are evenly space from one another in the same dimension.
