Abstract

Image deformation apparatus has memory units for storing image data, and coordinate transformation units for transforming coordinates of image data stored in the memory units so that the image data in the memory units can be treated as a two-dimensional image with use of a two-dimensional coordinate transformation unit. This enables formation of two-dimensional images such as magnified images and reduced images and the like, processed by two-dimensional image deformation.
