Abstract: Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for display processing including an apparatus, e.g., a DPU. The apparatus may receive at least one input image for a scaling operation, the at least one input image being associated with one or more scanning windows, each of the scanning windows including a plurality of pixels. The apparatus may also detect one or more features in the plurality of pixels in each of the one or more scanning windows. Further, the apparatus may adjust an amount of the plurality of pixels in each of the scanning windows for each of the detected features. The apparatus may also combine the adjusted amount of the plurality of pixels for each of the detected one or more features into a plurality of output pixels. The apparatus may also process each of the plurality of output pixels into at least one output image.
