This paper presents an efficient VLSI design of bi-cubic convolution interpolation for digital image processing. The architecture of reducing the computational complexity of generating coefficients as well as decreasing number of memory access times is proposed. Our proposed method provides a simple hardware architecture design, low computation cost and is easy to implement. Based on our technique, the high-speed VLSI architecture has been successfully designed and implemented with TSMC 0.13μm standard cell library. The simulation results demonstrate that the high performance architecture of bi-cubic convolution interpolation at 279MHz with 30643 gates in a 498×498μm2chip is able to process digital image scaling for HDTV in real-time.
