Resolution Conversion is the method used to resize the source image to the size of the destination image. Different types of interpolation techniques can be used in resize function, namely: Nearest-neighbor, Bilinear, and Area interpolation. The type of interpolation can be passed as a template parameter to the API. The following enumeration types can be used to specify the interpolation type:

  • XF_INTERPOLATION_NN - For Nearest-neighbor interpolation
  • XF_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR - For Bilinear interpolation
  • XF_INTERPOLATION_AREA - For Area interpolation

Note: Scaling factors greater than or equal to 0.25 are supported in down-scaling and values less than or equal to 8 are supported for up-scaling.

API Syntax

Parameter Descriptions

The following table describes the template and the function parameters.

Parameter Description
INTERPOLATIO N_TYPE

Interpolation type. The different options possible are

  • XF_INTERPOLATION_NN – Nearest Neighbor Interpolation
  • XF_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR – Bilinear interpolation
  • XF_INTERPOLATION_AREA – Area Interpolation
TYPE Input and Output pixel type. Only 8-bit, unsigned, 1 and 3 channels are supported (XF_8UC1 and XF_8UC3)
SRC_ROWS Maximum Height of input image for which the hardware kernel would be built.
SRC_COLS Maximum Width of input image for which the hardware kernel would be built (must be a multiple of 8).
DST_ROWS Maximum Height of output image for which the hardware kernel would be built.
DST_COLS Maximum Width of output image for which the hardware kernel would be built (must be a multiple of 8).
NPC Number of pixels to be processed per cycle. Possible options are XF_NPPC1 (1 pixel per cycle) and XF_NPPC8 (8 pixel per cycle).
MAX_DOWN_SCA LE Set to 2 for all 1 pixel modes, and for upscale in x direction. When down scaling in x direction in 8-pixel mode, please set this parameter to the next highest integer value of the down scale factor i.e., if downscaling from 1920 columns to 1280 columns, set to 2. For 1920 to 640, set to 3.
XFCVDEPTH_IN Depth of the input image.
XFCVDEPTH_OUT Depth of the output image.
_src Input Image
_dst Output Image
