Abstract

A circuit for rapidly rotating a digital image through 90 or 270 degrees utilizing memory implemented from ordinary 4-bit wide memory devices. This pipelined circuit transfers the image through a page buffer and a band buffer in a series of memory accessing, shining and reordering steps which converts all vertical lines to horizontal lines and all horizontal lines to vertical lines without requiring the use of a parallel to serial conversion.
