Title
Hardware architecture of bi-cubic convolution interpolation for real-time image scaling
Abstract
This paper presents two hardware architectures of bi-cubic convolution interpolation termed Parallelized Row Column Interpolation Architecture (PRCIA) and Serialized Row Column Interpolation Architecture (SRCIA) for real-time image scaling. These architectures factor in the challenges of high computational complexity, redundant computations and repeated memory accesses, which were otherwise not explicitly addressed in existing architectures. Besides, the proposed architectures also employ parallel computations to improve the throughput for realtime applications. The proposed architectures have been emulated and tested on Virtex-6 FPGA. The emulated PRCIA and SRCIA are able to scale input grayscale images of dimensions up to 640 × 480 at 59 and 48 frames per second respectively with arbitrary scaling factors up to 4 in both dimensions.
