RESUMO
This study implements the VLSI architecture for nonlinear-based picture scaling that is minimal in complexity and memory efficient. Image scaling is used to increase or decrease the size of an image in order to map the resolution of different devices, particularly cameras and printers. Larger memory and greater power are also necessary to produce high-resolution photographs. As a result, the goal of this project is to create a memory-efficient low-power image scaling methodology based on the effective weighted median interpolation methodology. Prefiltering is employed in linear interpolation scaling methods to improve the visual quality of the scaled image in noisy environments. By decreasing the blurring effect, the prefilter performs smoothing and sharpening processes to produce high-quality scaled images. Despite the fact that prefiltering requires more processing resources, the suggested solution scales via effective weighted median interpolation, which reduces noise intrinsically. As a result, a low-cost VLSI architecture can be created. The results of simulations reveal that the effective weighted median interpolation outperforms other existing approaches.
