Abstract
A motion adaptive method for vertically scaling an image. The image data is analyzed to obtain a motion magnitude value for each pixel (31). The pixel data is then processed with two scaling processes (35, 36), performed in parallel. One scaling process is better suited for low motion images and the other is better suited for high motion images. The motion magnitude value is used to select between or combine (38) the pixel data outputs of the two scaling processes (35, 36).
