ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a digital zoom system utilizing image buffers and employing an approximated bilinear interpolation method. The zoom system includes an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter for converting an analog image signal to a digital image signal, an image buffer for storing the digital image signal generated for said A/D converter, a horizontal operation circuit for interpolating the digital image signal taken along with a horizontal direction, one or more horizontal image buffers for storing the digital image signal for 1-horizontal lines magnified in a horizontal direction, a vertical operation circuit for interpolating said horizontally magnified image signal in a vertical direction, a timing controller for controlling the image buffer, said horizontal and vertical operation circuits, and a digital-to-analog (D/A) converter for converting the digital image signal resultedly magnified in the horizontal and vertical direction back to analog image signal.
