Abstract

A system and method for implementing multi-level resolution conversion (MLRC) of a set of image pixels efficiently using linear interpolation. The system automatically generates equations for determining the values of output pixels in a real-time manner as a function of the input pixels and a desired resolution conversion. As the input pixel values are received, the MLRC system generates the pixel values in real-time at a rate required for the output resolution without requiring a large number of intermediate complex calculations to be stored in memory. The pixel values utilized in the equations are normalized and scaled to values within a predetermined normalization range in order to minimize the complexity of the calculations performed by the MLRC system. The method of implementing MLRC allows the system to be implemented in an efficient and economical manner by eliminating the continual use of a floating point divider, minimizing the amount of memory required to perform the resolution conversion, and simplifying the calculations necessary for performing the resolution conversion.
