Description

  The present invention relates to an image signal processing circuit and an image display device, and is particularly suitable for application to an image signal processing circuit for displaying image data and television signals output from a computer on an image display device. .

  Conventionally, there are various types of images displayed on the image display device, such as computer images, digital camera images, and television signal images. Many of these image formats exist.

  In the case of an image display device in which these image formats are fixed, it is possible to correspond to this image format by selecting an image display device that matches the image format. However, in a general-purpose image display device, in order to display an image on the image display device, it is necessary to perform image processing on the image.

  The image processing in this image display device typically includes IP conversion, frame rate conversion, or resolution conversion. Of these, IP conversion is to convert an interlace signal such as an NTSC signal of a television signal into a progressive signal. The frame rate conversion is conversion of the screen switching rate. The resolution conversion is to convert the number of pixels in the horizontal direction and the number of scanning lines in the vertical direction.

  In the case of executing these image processes, a configuration using a frame memory is known. This frame memory stores image data for one screen, and reads and processes data as needed for image processing. By adopting this frame memory, not only the above-described image processing but also special image processing can be executed.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-228561 discloses a technique for performing inversion, rotation, enlargement, and reduction of an image by controlling the order of writing to or reading from a frame memory.

  In recent years, multi-screen display in which a plurality of screens are displayed on one image display device has been generally performed. Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose a technique for performing multi-screen display by using a plurality of memory spaces for such multi-screen display.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-228688 discloses a technique for performing processing such as image inversion and rotation using a burst mode of SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM). In this method, image data is divided into blocks each having a predetermined number of pixels in the vertical and horizontal directions, burst transfer is performed for each block, and the order of the data is changed within the block, so that the data in the block is inverted, rotated, etc. This process is performed, and the process of inversion and rotation of the entire image is realized by changing the writing or reading order of the corresponding block.

  By the way, when performing real-time processing using a frame memory such as SDRAM, it is preferable to use the burst mode of SDRAM. As shown in FIG. 11, in this burst mode, data transfer can be continuously performed using pipeline processing. However, the address count in the burst mode is incremented by sequential or interleave.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to use the burst mode for the techniques described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. Specifically, in the methods described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a row address and a column address must be designated for each access to the memory. Furthermore, in the moving image processing, it is necessary to improve the processing speed of memory access.

It means being.

(First embodiment)
First, an image processing apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the image processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment, a case will be described in which an address is controlled when image data is written to or read from a frame memory, and line order inversion control is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the image processing apparatus according to the first embodiment, a line buffer 101, a frame memory 102, a FIFO (First-In First-Out) buffer (hereinafter referred to as FIFO) 103, an inversion position control apparatus. 104, an address control device 105 and a control device 107. In the first embodiment, the line buffer 101 is a first memory unit, the frame memory 102 is a second memory unit, and the control device 107 and the address control device 105 are control circuits. The first memory unit may be a memory that can perform column inversion processing, and a memory having a small capacity is preferable so that the hardware scale is reduced. As such a memory, a line buffer can be preferably used.

  In FIG. 2, a signal supplied from the inversion position control device 104 to the control device 107 and the address control device 105 is a column inversion position instruction signal S11, and a signal supplied from the address control device 105 to the frame memory 102. The write address S12 and the read address S13. A signal supplied from the control device 107 to the line buffer 101 is an address designation signal S14.

  Data input / output within the image processing apparatus includes input image data D11, image data D12 read from the line buffer 101, image data D13 read from the frame memory 102, and FIFO 103. Output image data D14 and the like.

Among these data, FIG. 3A shows a virtual image when displayed on an image display device (not shown) based on the input image data D11. The input image data D11 displayed in this way is first supplied to the line buffer 101 shown in FIG. 2 and stored for each line. Further, when the user inputs information on the column inversion position from the outside, the information data on the column inversion position is input to the inversion position control device 104. The column inversion position instruction signal S11 based on the column inversion position information set by the user is supplied to the control device 107, whereby the column inversion processing address designation signal S14 is supplied from the control device 107 to the line buffer 101. Is done.

  Next, the image data is sequentially counted up and output from the line buffer 101 supplied with the address designation signal S14 to the column inversion position set in advance by the user. Then, at the stage where the column inversion position is reached, the line buffer 101 is controlled so that the image data sequentially input to the line buffer 101 is output in an order reverse to the input order. In other words, the output is sequentially counted down with respect to the number of positions obtained by subtracting the number of pixels already output from the number of output pixels in one line.

  FIG. 3B shows a virtual image when displayed on an image display device (not shown) based on the image data D12 read from the line buffer 101 and supplied to the frame memory 102 in this way. Assuming that the image data is displayed on the image display device based on the image data D12, a part of the image displayed based on the image data input to the line buffer 101 and a part of the image perpendicular to the line of the image. An image reversed on the same plane at the direction axis center is displayed.

  Actually, since the image data D12 becomes data to be written into the frame memory 102, a plurality of pixel transfers are performed, or the data is temporarily stored in an asynchronous FIFO (none of which is not shown) and the clock frequency is increased. It is transferred to the memory 102. In FIG. 3B, the case where the center of the display screen is at the column inversion position is taken as an example. In FIG. 3B, “part indicated by A” is the left image of the input image data D11, and “part indicated by B” An image obtained by inverting the image on the left side, that is, “line indicated by C” indicates the inversion instruction position determined by the column inversion position information input from the inversion position control device 104.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the column inversion position instruction signal S <b> 11 is also supplied to the address control device 105. The address control unit 105 then outputs a frame so that a part of the image signals for a plurality of lines input to the frame memory 102 is output in the input order and the other part is output with the line order inverted. The memory 102 is controlled. That is, the address control device 105 executes line order inversion processing based on the column inversion position with respect to one of the write address S12 and the read address S13 to the frame memory 102 in accordance with the column inversion position instruction signal S11. Is done.

Next, the coordinates of the upper left corner of the input image data D11 are (0, 0), and the coordinates of the lower right corner are (x, y).
FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show an example of how the pixel data of the image data D13 read from the frame memory 102 is arranged. Note that the arrows in FIGS. 4 and 5 indicate the order of reading. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the line order inversion process is performed at the time of reading without executing the line order inversion process at the time of writing control to the frame memory 102.

  That is, according to the arrangement of the pixel data shown in FIG. 4, the data is sequentially read from the position of the coordinates (0, 0) along the direction of the arrow, and when the column inversion position C is reached, the line order inversion is performed. On the other hand, FIG. 5 shows an example of reading when the line order inversion process is executed during the write control to the frame memory 102 and the line order inversion process is not executed during the read control. That is, data is read in order from the position of the coordinates (0, 0) in the direction of the arrow, and the data is sequentially read as it is regardless of the column inversion position C. Note that which configuration is adopted can be arbitrarily determined depending on the circuit configuration.

As described above, based on the column inversion position information determined by the user and input to the inversion position control device 104, the line order inversion process is executed at the column inversion position at the time of read control or write control. The image data D13 read from the frame memory 102 is temporarily stored for each line in the FIFO 103, and is output in accordance with the output timing. As a result, if the image data is displayed on the image display device based on the image data D13, a part of the image displayed based on the image data input to the frame memory 102 and a part of the image are converted into an image line. And an image reversed on the same plane with the axis in the parallel direction as the center.

  Then, based on the output image data D14 that is output, if it is displayed on an image display device (not shown), the display is based on the image data input to the line buffer 101 as shown in FIG. 3C. A portion of the image to be displayed is displayed in the opposite direction while being rotated on the same plane with respect to the other portions. In other words, it is possible to achieve reverse multi-display.

(Second Embodiment)
Next explained is an image processing apparatus according to the second embodiment of the invention. FIG. 6 shows an image processing apparatus according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, a case where line order inversion processing is executed when image data is read from the frame memory will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the image processing apparatus according to the second embodiment includes a FIFO 701, a frame memory 702, a line buffer 703, an inversion position control device 704, an address control device 705, and a control device 707. Yes. In the second embodiment, the first memory unit is the line buffer 703, the second memory unit is the frame memory 702, and the control circuit is the control device 707 and the address control device 705.

  In FIG. 6, data input from the outside to the FIFO 701 is input image data D71, and data read from the FIFO 701 and supplied to the frame memory 702 is read from the image data D72 and the frame memory 702 to be line buffers. Data supplied to 703 is image data D73, and data output from the line buffer 703 is output image data D74. A column inversion position instruction signal S71 is output from the inversion position control device 704 and supplied to the address control device 705 and the control device 707. Also, a write address S 72 and a read address S 73 are output from the address control device 705 and supplied to the frame memory 702. Further, an address designation signal S74 for column inversion processing is supplied from the control device 707 to the line buffer 703.

  First, input image data D71 supplied from the outside is temporarily stored in the FIFO 701 for each line. The image data D72 read from the FIFO 701 according to the write timing of the frame memory 702 is stored in the frame memory 702 according to the write address S72 output from the address control device 705.

  The image data stored in the frame memory 702 can be exemplified by the data shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 7, only the data on the left side from the column inversion position C of the input image data D71 is stored in the frame memory 702. The data stored on the right side of the column inversion position of the frame memory 702 is generated by reading the data on the left side of the column inversion position of the input image data D71 twice and stored in the frame memory 702.

  The address control device 705 outputs a frame so that a part of the image signals for a plurality of lines input to the frame memory 702 is output in the input order and the other part is output with the line order inverted. The memory 702 is controlled. That is, the address control device 705 performs line order inversion processing on the basis of the column inversion position with respect to the address of the read address S73 to the frame memory 702 according to the column inversion position instruction signal S71.

  Thus, if the image display device displays the image data D73 read from the frame memory 702, a part of the image displayed based on the image data input to the frame memory 702, An image obtained by inverting a part of an image on the same plane around an axis parallel to the line of the image is displayed.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a virtual image displayed on an image display device (not shown) based on the image data D73 read out as described above. In FIG. 8, “portion indicated by A” indicates the left portion of the input image data D71, and “portion indicated by B” is an image obtained by inverting the left portion “portion indicated by A” of the input image data in the vertical direction. The “part indicated by C” is a column inversion position set by the user and stored in the inversion position control device 704.

  The image data D73 read from the frame memory 702 is supplied to the line buffer 703 for each line and stored. Thereafter, the data stored in the line buffer 703 is read according to the output timing by the address designation signal S74 output from the control device 707. At this time, the image data is sequentially counted up to the column inversion position and output in accordance with the address designation signal S74 including the column inversion position information. When the column inversion position is reached, the line buffer 703 is controlled so that the image data sequentially input to the line buffer 703 is output in an order reverse to the input order.

  That is, the output is sequentially counted down to the column inversion position based on the position of the number of output pixels in one line as a reference. As described above, the column inversion process is executed by the control device of the line buffer 703, and the output image data D74 is output.

  Then, if the image is displayed on the image display device based on the output image data D74 that is output, a part of the image displayed based on the image data input to the line buffer 703 and a part of the image are displayed. An image inverted about an axis perpendicular to the image line is displayed on the same plane.

  As described above, based on the output image data D74 to be output, if it is displayed on an image display device (not shown), as shown in FIG. 3C, it is based on the image data input to the line buffer 101. A part of the displayed image is displayed in the opposite direction while being rotated on the same plane with respect to the other parts. That is, it is possible to output as data that can be reversed multi-display.

(Third embodiment)
Next explained is an image processing apparatus according to the third embodiment of the invention. FIG. 9 shows an image processing apparatus according to the third embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the component similar to 1st Embodiment. In the third embodiment, a case where line order inversion processing is executed when image data is written to the frame memory will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the image processing apparatus according to the third embodiment includes a first line buffer 101, a frame memory 102 and a FIFO 103, an inversion position controller 104, an address controller 105, a second line buffer 106, And a control device 107. In the third embodiment, the first line buffer 101 and the second line buffer 106 are a first memory unit, the frame memory 102 is a second memory unit, and the control device 107 and the address control device 105 are control circuits. is there.

In FIG. 9, the same data as in the first embodiment is read from the first input image data D11 stored in the first line buffer 101 and read from the frame memory 102 and FIFO 103. The image data D13 supplied to the output and the output image data D14 output from the FIFO 103. In the third embodiment, the second input image data D15 is further input to the second line buffer 106 from the outside, and the data read from the first line buffer 101 and the second line buffer 106 are The image data D16 is supplied to the frame memory 102.

  Further, the column inversion position instruction signal S11 supplied from the inversion position control device 104 to the control device 107 and the address control device 105 is a command signal for instructing the column inversion position of “part indicated by C” in FIG. is there. Further, the write address S12, the read address S13, and the address designation signals S14 and S15 are the same as in the first embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  First, the first input image data D11 is input and stored in the first line buffer 101, and the second input image data D15 is input and stored in the second line buffer 106.

  Also, the column inversion position instruction signal S11 output from the inversion position control device 104 controls the enable and read start positions of the first line buffer 101 and the second line buffer 106 by the control device 107.

  That is, when the read enable of the first line buffer 101 is enabled, the read enable of the second line buffer 106 is disabled. On the other hand, when the read enable of the first line buffer 101 is impossible, the read enable of the second line buffer 106 is enabled. In addition, column inversion processing is executed when image data is read from the second line buffer 106.

  Specifically, image data is read from the first line buffer 101 and the second line buffer 106 as follows.

  First, image data is sequentially counted up to the column inversion position set in advance by the user from the first line buffer 101 to which the address designation signal S14 is supplied and output. At the stage where the column inversion position is reached, the image data sequentially input to the second line buffer 106 is output in the order opposite to the input order by the address designation signal S15. That is, the image data is sequentially counted down from the second line buffer 106 and output based on the position of the number obtained by subtracting the number of pixels already output from the number of output pixels of one line.

  In this way, the data synthesized by switching the output data from the first line buffer 101 and the output data from the second line buffer 106 is supplied to the frame memory 102 as the image data D16.

  As a result, if the image display device displays the image data D16, a part of the image displayed based on the image data input to the first line buffer 101 and the second line buffer 106 is displayed. Then, an image obtained by inverting a part of another image on the same plane with an axis perpendicular to the line of the image as a center is displayed.

  Next, writing to the frame memory 102 is controlled by a write address S12. Further, reading from the frame memory 102 is controlled by a read address S13. The write address S12 and the read address S13 are generated by the address control device 105.

  In accordance with the column inversion position instruction signal S11 output from the inversion position controller 104 by the address controller 105, line order inversion at the write address S12 is executed. The address controller 105 outputs a part of the image signals for a plurality of lines input to the frame memory 102 in the order of input and outputs the other part with the line order inverted. To control.

  That is, the address control device 105 performs line order inversion processing with reference to the column inversion position for the write address S12 to the frame memory 102 in accordance with the column inversion position instruction signal S11. Therefore, if the image display device displays the image data D13 sequentially read from the frame memory 102, a part of the image displayed based on the image data input to the frame memory 102, An image obtained by inverting a part of the image on the same plane around an axis parallel to the line of the image is displayed.

  The image data D13 read from the frame memory 102 is stored in the FIFO 103. Subsequently, after the image data D13 is stored in the FIFO 103, it is output as output image data D14 in accordance with the timing of the image display device (not shown).

  If the image is displayed on an image display device (not shown) based on the output image data D14 that is output, the image is displayed based on the image data input to the first line buffer 101 and the second line buffer 106. A part of the image to be displayed is displayed in the opposite direction in the direction rotating on the same plane with respect to the other part. In other words, it is possible to achieve reverse multi-display.

  Here, as an example, the virtual image when displayed on the image display device (not shown) based on the input image data D11 is the image of FIG. 3A, and based on the input image data D15, the image display device (FIG. It is assumed that the virtual image when displayed in (not shown) is the image of FIG. 10A. At this time, based on the output image data D14 output from the image processing apparatus according to the third embodiment, the virtual image displayed on the image display device (not shown) is the image shown in FIG. 10B. FIG. 10B shows an example in which the display range from the left end in the virtual image based on the respective input image data D11 and D15 is set.

  In addition, the position of the display range is determined according to the display range data set in the address control device 105 and the control device 107 according to the inversion position instruction information data set by the user and input from the outside. It is possible to change.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described concretely, this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, The various deformation | transformation based on the technical idea of this invention is possible.

  For example, the numerical values given in the above embodiment are merely examples, and different numerical values may be used as necessary.

  For example, in the first embodiment described above, in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the inversion position C is x / 2, but the column inversion coordinates at the inversion position C are merely an example, and other arbitrary It is also possible to select column inversion coordinates, and it is not always necessary to be half (x / 2) of all column inversion coordinates. Further, the display examples shown in FIGS. 8 and 10B are merely examples in the description, and do not necessarily indicate that the inversion process is performed in the center of the display screen.

For example, the input signal employed in the above-described embodiment may be either an interlace signal or a progressive signal, and is not necessarily limited to one signal.

  Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the inversion processing for each line has been described. However, the inversion processing for each line is not necessarily limited to each line, but a so-called line doubler, which is a method of simultaneously scanning two adjacent lines and displaying an image. The present invention can be applied even when a method of scanning a plurality of lines and displaying an image is used, and the same effect can be obtained.

  The FIFO is a temporary storage device for reducing the difference between the transfer speed of image data input to the memory unit located at the subsequent stage and the write speed of image data to the memory unit. Therefore, it is not always necessary to use the FIFO if the image data transfer speed is configured to match the image data writing speed of the memory unit in advance.
