Abstract

A mosaic picture processing apparatus and method is disclosed. The present invention includes a memory device for storing picture data, which include index data, pattern data, and pattern control data. A pattern coordinate generating device is used for generating a horizontal coordinate and a vertical coordinate. A mosaic device is used for generating a mosaic control signal. Next, the index data is read from the memory device in response to the horizontal coordinate, the vertical coordinate, and the mosaic control signal. Further, the pattern data is read from the memory device in response to the horizontal coordinate, the vertical coordinate, the index data, and the mosaic control signal.
