In this paper, a system and method for processing image data in a graphics display system using parallel processing is described. But it is based on a kernel function to enhance selected features and assist in image analysis.Abstract:
A system and method for processing image data in a graphics display system using parallel processing. A source image represented as an array of image pixel values is convolved by a kernel function to enhance selected features and assist in image analysis. Bi-linear interpolation is implemented to preserve picture quality when a source image is enlarged or reduced. A series of processing elements (150) connected in parallel are used to speed image transformation and interpolation. The application of convolution is divided between the processors so that the processing with adjacent pixels overlaps and output image pixels are generated in fewer machine cycles. A pipeline architecture continually processes values from the parallel processors through validation and conversion to generate the final image.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a specialized hardware engine implementing a pipeline technique allows a host graphic workstation to process and display bit mapped images in real-time, which is capable of applying a pixel by pixel transformation to a wide variety of images (e.g. monoband or RGB with 1/2/4/8/12 bit per pixel) and displaying the resulting images that should be zoomed, shrinked, rotated, panned and moved at a high display rate.

Image sharpening and re-sampling method
Dirk Meeussen,Bart Tytgat +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an image is re-sampled and sharpened by subjecting the image to a convolution with a kernel, the elements of which are determined by selecting a first set of kernel values.

Parallel interpolator for high speed digital image enlargement
TL;DR: In this article, the generation of new pixels and pixel values for a modified format image is achieved by employing parallel signal pipelines in a way that allows for highly efficient insertion of suitably modified interpolatd pixels adjacent to the original pixels.
