Abstract
A vertical zooming unit vertically resizes image data by a tap number m. A horizontal zooming unit horizontally resizes the vertically-resized image data outputted from the vertical zooming unit by a tap number n. A tap coefficient setting unit arbitrarily sets respective tap coefficients when the vertical zooming unit or the horizontal zooming unit is operated. A memory stores the image data therein. A memory controller controls input and output of the image data among the memory, the vertical zooming unit and the horizontal zooming unit.
