Appeal No. 1996-3621 Application No. 08/019,783 the vertically skewed image is interpolated to form an interpolated vertically skewed image. Finally, the interpolated vertically skewed image is skewed in a horizontal direction by a horizontal skew to form a rotated image. Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads as follows: 1. In a system for rotating a stored image by a given angle of rotation, a method comprising: scanning a plurality of input points of an original of said image for reading a plurality of input image pixels corresponding to said image, wherein said scanning defines a horizontal direction as the direction of said scanning forming a plurality of horizontal scan lines of input image pixels, and defines a vertical direction as substantially perpendicular to said horizontal direction; storing said plurality of input image pixels in a memory to form said stored image, wherein said input image pixels are stored in said memory such that adjacent pixels in a given memory location are in substantially the same order as said plurality of input image pixels along said horizontal direction; skewing said stored image in a vertical direction by a vertical skew to form a vertical skewed image; interpolating said vertical skewed image to form an interpolated vertical skewed image; and 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
