Abstract
Currently, various television standards use different aspect ratios. For example, a wide screen aspect ratio of 16:9 is gaining popularity over the existing TV broadcasts that use 4:3 aspect ratio. A method of scaling an image horizontally with a uniform or non-uniform scaling ratio is referred to as 'panoramic scaling'. A deviceand methodof scaling an imageby means of a scaling functionthat is generated on the basis of a motion vectorof at least a part of the imageis disclosed. The devicecan be used in an image processing apparatus or in an image display apparatus for converting a first image with a first aspect ratio to a second image of a second aspect ratio. The disclosed deviceis useful in reducing the visual distortion introduced by the panoramic scaling especially in case of moving objects in a scene.
