Swscale has 2 scaler paths. Each side must be capable of handling

The main path is used when no special converter can be used. The code
is designed as a destination line pull architecture. That is, for each
output line the vertical scaler pulls lines from a ring buffer. When
the ring buffer does not contain the wanted line then it is pulled from
the input slice through the input converter and horizontal scaler, and

the ring buffer does not contain the wanted line, then it is pulled from
the input slice through the input converter and horizontal scaler.
The result is also stored in the ring buffer to serve future vertical
scaler requests.
When no more output can be generated because lines from a future slice
would be needed, then all remaining lines in the current slice are
converted, horizontally scaled and put in the ring buffer.

Input to YUV Converter
When the input to the main path is not planar 8bit per component yuv or
8bit gray then it is converted to planar 8bit YUV. 2 sets of converters
exist for this currently, one performing horizontal downscaling by 2
before the conversion and the other leaving the full chroma resolution
but being slightly slower. The scaler will try to preserve full chroma
When the input to the main path is not planar 8 bits per component YUV or
8-bit gray then it is converted to planar 8-bit YUV. 2 sets of converters
exist for this currently: One performs horizontal downscaling by 2
before the conversion, the other leaves the full chroma resolution
but is slightly slower. The scaler will try to preserve full chroma
here when the output uses it. It is possible to force full chroma with
SWS_FULL_CHR_H_INP though even for cases where the scaler thinks it is
useless.

Horizontal scaler
There are several horizontal scalers. A special case worth mentioning is
the fast bilinear scaler that is made of runtime generated MMX2 code
the fast bilinear scaler that is made of runtime-generated MMX2 code
using specially tuned pshufw instructions.
The remaining scalers are specially tuned for various filter lengths.
They scale 8bit unsigned planar data to 16bit signed planar data.
Future >8bit per component inputs will need to add a new scaler here

They scale 8-bit unsigned planar data to 16-bit signed planar data.
Future >8 bits per component inputs will need to add a new scaler here

Vertical scaler and output converter
There is a large number of combined vertical scalers+output converters
There is a large number of combined vertical scalers + output converters.
Some are:
* unscaled output converters
* unscaled output converters that average 2 chroma lines
* bilinear converters (C, MMX and accurate MMX)
* arbitrary filter length converters (C, MMX and accurate MMX)
And
* Plain C 8bit 4:2:2 YUV -> RGB converters using LUTs
* Plain C 17bit 4:4:4 YUV -> RGB converters using multiplies
* MMX 11bit 4:2:2 YUV -> RGB converters
* Plain C 16bit Y -> 16bit gray
* Plain C 8-bit 4:2:2 YUV -> RGB converters using LUTs
* Plain C 17-bit 4:4:4 YUV -> RGB converters using multiplies

Filter coefficients:
--------------------
There are several different scalers (bilinear, bicubic, lanczos, area, sinc, ...)
Their coefficients are calculated in initFilter().
Horizontal filter coeffs have a 1.0 point at 1<<14, vertical ones at 1<<12.
The 1.0 points have been chosen to maximize precision while leaving a
little headroom for convolutional filters like sharpening filters and

Horizontal filter coefficients have a 1.0 point at 1 << 14, vertical ones at
1 << 12. The 1.0 points have been chosen to maximize precision while leaving
a little headroom for convolutional filters like sharpening filters and
minimizing SIMD instructions needed to apply them.
It would be trivial to use a different 1.0 point if some specific scaler
would benefit from it.
