Abstract: A method for image processing loads a cache line width column of image data into a data cache. The cache line width column of image data is then processed to enhance the image data; and the enhanced image data is then outputted.

Abstract: A printing apparatus comprises a processor comprising registers, and a memory configured to store image data. The processor is configured to load portions of the image data into the registers and perform toner explosion compensation on the portions of the image data loaded in the registers, excluding image data loaded in boundary positions in the registers.

Abstract: A method for image processing includes generating a pixel window of image data and determining whether the pixel window-is stable or unstable. Image enhancement values are then obtained from a look up table for stable windows when the window is stable, and image enhancement values are obtained from a look up table for unstable windows when the window is unstable. An enhanced target pixel value is then output according to the obtained look up table image enhancement value.

Abstract: An image processing method and device for processing multiple rows of pixels of an image simultaneously with a single instruction. The processing includes selecting a pixel window having a plurality of pixels of an image spanning across multiple rows and columns, building vertical and horizontal load registers to include the plurality of pixels of the selected pixel window, and simultaneously processing selected pixels of the plurality of pixels included in the vertical and horizontal load registers using a single instruction, wherein the vertical and horizontal load registers are shifted when the selected pixels are processed. Accordingly, a method and device for efficient processing of an image is provided.
