Abstract

A vertical zooming unit vertically resizes image data by a tap number m. A horizontal zooming unit horizontally resizes the vertically-resized image data outputted from the vertical zooming unit by a tap number n. A tap coefficient setting unit arbitrarily sets respective tap coefficients when the vertical zooming unit or the horizontal zooming unit is operated. A memory stores the image data therein. A memory controller controls input and output of the image data among the memory, the vertical zooming unit and the horizontal zooming unit.

Claims (12)

1. An electronic zooming device comprising:

a vertical zooming unit for vertically resizing image data by a tap number m;

a horizontal zooming unit for horizontally resizing the vertically-resized image data outputted from the vertical zooming unit by a tap number n;

a tap coefficient setting unit for arbitrarily setting respective tap coefficients when the vertical zooming unit or the horizontal zooming unit is operated;

a memory in which the image data is stored; and

a memory controller for controlling input and output of the image data among the memory, the vertical zooming unit and the horizontal zooming unit; and

an image processor for correcting the image data when the vertical zooming unit or the horizontal zooming unit is operated,

wherein image quality is adjusted in the horizontal zooming unit.

2. The electronic zooming device as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the horizontal zooming unit further comprises:

an image quality adjustment computing section for adjusting the image quality; and

an image quality adjustment parameter setting section for setting an image quality adjustment parameter in the image quality adjustment computing section.
