Development of high performance ASICs using ACUITY image resizing engine cores

Many segments of the video/imaging industry have intensified the demand for image resizing capabilities. Systems developers generally cannot afford to invest millions of dollars in DSP research and development. If a standard image resizing IC core technology can be assessed and embedded within the system specification, highly integrated, high quality low-cost ASIC solutions can be realized. The authors present the fundamentals of digital image resizing, introduce the Genesis ACUITY technology, and describe the design and development methodology for image resizing ASICs using ACUITY cores. >
