Patent ID: 7525526

Claim:
A method for converting source image data comprising one of a plurality of input image resolutions for display on a target image display panel comprising a plurality of subpixels further comprising a target image resolution, said source image data being reconstructed into a target image in said target image resolution for display onto said target image display panel using said target image display panel's subpixels for image reconstruction, the steps of said method comprising: selecting a scaling factor, said scaling factor effecting a mapping of said source image data in one of said input image resolutions into said target image resolution of said target image display panel; for said selected scaling factor, dividing the target image into a plurality of scaling repeat cells; calculating a plurality of filter kernels; each filter kernel comprising coefficients calculated to implement cubic interpolation upon said source image data; each filter kernel, when applied to a portion of said source image data, scaling said portion of said source image data to at least one of said scaling repeat cells of said target image; and multiplying said source image data by said filter kernels to produce data values for said scaling repeat cells of said target image.
