  • System and method for maintaining maximum input rate while up-scaling an image vertically
    Patent number: 8749667
    Abstract: An example embodiment provides a resizer in an image processing system. The resizer includes a receiving module that receives pixel data representative of an image. A triple line buffer is coupled to the receiving module that stores the pixel data in response to a write control signal from control logic. The triple line buffer is operated as a circular buffer. The resizer further includes a resizer core that reads pixel data from the triple line buffer in response to a read control signal from the control logic. The pixel data is replicated to up-scale the image vertically according to a vertical up-scale ratio such that the resizer achieves a maximum input data rate and also eliminates an overflow condition in the resizer. The vertical up-scale ratio is a fraction.

  • Method, system, and computer program product for filtering a texture applied to a surface of a computer generated object
    Patent number: 6756989
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for filtering textures applied to a surface of a computer generated object permits an application program running on a computer system to significantly increase the graphics capabilities and performance of the computer. Rendering data for a pixel of the object is received from the application program, and a first and second set of texture coordinates is generated. Next, the first and second sets of texture coordinates are used to obtain a first and second texture sample from a texture image. The first and second texture samples are then blended together to produce a texture sample having a greater degree of filtering. This produced texture sample having a higher degree of filtering is stored in a frame buffer for subsequent display.
