Abstract
A method and device for multidimensional data transformation is disclosed. A multidimensional, non-linear data memory storage construct provides simultaneous access to data in all dimensions without duplication of memory. For 'n' dimensions, 2.sup.n locations describe the smallest subarea location in the multidimensional construct. Therefore, 2.sup.n memory banks are provided in which to store corresponding interpolation data. By recognizing that boundary points of the n-dimensions are common, duplication of memory is avoided by providing an addressing and sorting mechanism which allows interpolation of stored data correlated to the input data.
