DIRECTIONAL SCALING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233094 titled 'DIRECTIONAL SCALING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

The abstract describes an electronic device with scaling circuitry that can increase the resolution of input pixel data. The directional scaling circuitry includes first interpolation circuitry to interpolate pixel values diagonally offset from input positions, and second interpolation circuitry to interpolate pixel values horizontally or vertically offset from input positions.

  • The electronic device includes scaling circuitry to increase the resolution of input pixel data.
  • Directional scaling circuitry uses first interpolation circuitry to interpolate pixel values diagonally offset from input positions.
  • Second interpolation circuitry interpolates pixel values horizontally or vertically offset from input positions.
  • The circuitry utilizes best mode data and input pixel values to perform the interpolation.
  • The innovation allows for improved image quality and resolution enhancement.

Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device may include scaling circuitry to scale input pixel data to a greater resolution. the directional scaling circuitry may include first interpolation circuitry to receive best mode data, including one or more angles corresponding to content of the image and interpolate first pixel values at first pixel positions diagonally offset from input pixel positions of the input pixel data based on the best mode data and input pixel values corresponding to the input pixel positions. the directional scaling circuitry may also include second interpolation circuitry to receive the best mode data and the input pixel values and interpolate second pixel values at second pixel positions horizontally or vertically offset from the input pixel positions based at least in part on the best mode data and the input pixel values.
