| 20100040297 | Image Processing Device - A compression format identifying unit identifies the compression format of image data stored in a main memory. A transfer function determining unit determines a transfer function in accordance with the compression format of a tile image thus identified. A convolution operation unit subjects a modification request signal and the transfer function thus determined to convolution operation so as to generate a modification direction signal. A read ahead processor reads a tile image from the main memory using the modification request signal, decodes the image, and writes the decoded image in a buffer memory. A display image processor generates a display image using the modification direction signal. | 02-18-2010 |
