Abstract
Description
[0001] This is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 644,238, filed Dec. 22, 2006, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND
[0002] The exemplary embodiment relates generally to image processing systems and, more particularly, to a method of decimating images.
[0003] A printed circuit board, or PCB, is a self-contained module of interconnected electronic components found in devices ranging from common beepers, or pagers, and radios to sophisticated radar and computer systems. The circuits are generally formed by a thin layer of conducting material deposited, or “printed,” on the surface of an insulating board known as the substrate. Individual electronic components are placed on the surface of the substrate and soldered to the interconnecting circuits. Contact fingers along one or more edges of the substrate act as connectors to other PCBs or to external electrical devices such as on-off switches. A printed circuit board may hav...
