Abstract

A method and apparatus for scaling image pixel data by a rational scale factor of L/M utilizes look-up tables for input pixel addressing and convolution of up to two adjacent input pixels which offers an improved implementation of a conventional sampling rate conversion system wherein the input pixels are upsampled by a factor of L by inserting L-1 zeroes, interpolating the zero upsamples by finite impulse response techniques and down-sampling the interpolated data by a factor of M.
