  • Rotated transform of an image using block transfers
    Patent number: 6785428
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a source raster representation of an image, where the source raster representation of the image has an orientation relative to the source raster. The method includes partitioning the source raster into blocks of pixels based on the orientation, and for each block of pixels, calculating a destination location in a destination raster for the block of pixels and transferring the block of pixels to the calculated destination location in the destination raster, the destination location being calculated from the orientation.
