We prove that the Toeplitz binary value matrix inversion associated with mth order E-spline interpolation can be implemented using only 2 (m + 1) additions. We develop pipelined architectures for real time B-spline interpolation based on simple running average filters. We also show that an ideal interpolating function, which is approximated by a truncated sinc function with M half cycles, can be implemented using B-splines with M + 2 multiplies. With insignificant loss of performance, the coefficients at the knots of the truncated sinc function can be approximated using coefficients which are powers of two. The resulting implementation requires only M + 4m + 6 additions. We believe that the truncated sinc function approximated by zero order B-spline functions actually achieves the best visual performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
