Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing optimized sharpening of images in non-linear and linear formats are disclosed. A system includes a blur filter and a sharpener. The blur filter receives an input image or video frame and provides blurred output pixels to a sharpener unit. The sharpener unit operates in linear or non-linear space depending on the format of the input frame. The sharpener unit includes one or more optimizations to generate sharpened pixel data in an area-efficient manner. The sharpened pixel data is then driven to a display.
