ABSTRACT:
An image rescaling method utilizing a parallel processor is provided. The computer-implemented method includes the steps of loading multiple word components into a processor in one machine instruction, each word component associated with a pixel of an image; rescaling the multiple word components in parallel; and packing the rescaled multiple word components into an image buffer in one machine instruction. Additionally, a second set of multiple word components may be processed concurrently with the processing of a first set of multiple word components.
