Method and apparatus for transposing image data

摘要

A method and apparatus for the transposition of obtained video image data. This video image data originally comprises a plurality of columns, containing a plurality of pixels therein. Each of these columns uniquely corresponds to a vertical segment of the document being scanned. These vertical columns of data are then placed into an external memory and outputted therefrom, by a transposer controller, which causes the output to comprise pixel data contained in the rows of the original vertical columns input thereto.
