Abstract
In various embodiments, systems and methods are provided for using an expanded image format to facilitate image transformations. The expanded image format can include at least a first set of boundaries and a second set of boundaries. The first set of boundaries corresponds to the image for transform, while the second set of boundaries provide a region beyond the image that can assist a graphics processing unit with performing a transform. Optionally, the expanded information can also include pixel value information for pixels in the region between the image boundary and the overboundary.
