An image interpolation processing device is provided for interpolating at
least one line between two adjacent lines. A prefetch unit is to prefetch
pixel data of the two adjacent lines with a predetermined pixel length,
so as to obtain a plurality of basic characteristics that are then stored
in a first register. A characteristic processing unit is used for cutting
and/or linking the basic characteristics to generate at least one set of
linked characteristics. The linked characteristics are stored in a second
register, as a reference for an operation unit to perform the
interpolation. The operations between the operation unit and the prefetch
unit are separated by a predetermined edge length.
