Abstract

An image-data processing apparatus includes a writer which writes image data into a memory according to a non-interlaced-scanning or an interlaced-scanning of each N line. An updater updates a cumulative zoom coefficient by accumulating, for each line, a decimal portion of the cumulative zoom coefficient to a first numerical value corresponding to the zoom coefficient. An accumulator accumulates, for each line, a second numerical value corresponding to an integer portion of the cumulative zoom coefficient. A reader reads out image data in a line corresponding to an accumulated value of the accumulator. A first setter sets N-times the zoom coefficient to the first numerical value in the non-interlaced-scanning, and sets the zoom coefficient to the first numerical value in the interlaced-scanning. A second setter sets an integer portion to the second numerical value in the non-interlaced-scanning, and sets N-times the integer portion to the second numerical value in the interlaced-scanning.

Claims (15)

1. An image-data processing apparatus, comprising:

a writer which writes image data into a memory in a manner according to one of a non-interlaced scanning and an interlaced scanning of each N line (N: an integer of two or more);

an updater which updates a cumulative zoom coefficient by accumulating, for each line, a decimal portion of the cumulative zoom coefficient to a first numerical value corresponding to the zoom coefficient;

an accumulator which accumulates, for each line, a second numerical value corresponding to an integer portion of the cumulative zoom coefficient;

a reader which reads out data in a line corresponding to an accumulated value of said accumulator, out of the image data accommodated in the memory by the writer;

a first setter which sets N times of the zoom coefficient to the first numerical value, corresponding to the non-interlaced scanning, and which sets the zoom coefficient to the first numerical value, corresponding to the interlaced scanning; and

a second setter which sets the integer portion to the second numerical value, corresponding to the non-interlaced scanning, and sets N times of the integer portion to the second numerical value, corresponding to the interlaced scanning.

2. An image-data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a zoom processor which performs a zoom process in which the zoom coefficient is referred to on the image data read out by said reader.

3. An image-data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said writer executes a writing process at a rate of one frame in a first period, corresponding to the non-interlaced scanning and executes a writing process at a rate of one frame in a period that is N times the first period, corresponding to the interlaced scanning; and said reader executes a reading-out process at a rate of one frame in a period that is N times the first period.

4. An image-data processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein said updater includes a first initializer which initializes the cumulative zoom coefficient at each elapse of the first period, and said accumulator includes a second initializer which initializes the accumulated value at each elapse of the first period.

5. An image-data processing apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a first initial-value changer which changes, among N numerical values, an initial value of the cumulative zoom coefficient at each elapse of the first period; and

a second initial-value changer which changes, among N numerical values, an initial value of the accumulated value at each elapse of the first period.

6. An image-data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a coefficient updater which updates the zoom coefficient in response to a zoom manipulation.

7. An image-data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a scanning-manner changer which changes a scanning manner of the image data written by said writer between the non-interlaced scanning and the interlaced scanning in response to a manner changing manipulation.
