ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, systems and methods for providing a multi-feature, programmable tap filter architecture for image processing are disclosed. In one implementation, a system includes an image data source for providing image pixel data, an image filtering coefficient source for providing a plurality of image filtering coefficient sets, and image processing logic capable of at least filtering the image pixel data using one or more image filtering coefficient sets specified by one or more indicators. The processing logic being also capable of blending adjacent and/or non-adjacent tap filter outputs to generate blended tap filter outputs.
