CODE TRANSLATION OF SINC-ZOOMING APPLICATION FROM C/C++ TO PURE C LANGUAGE: A COMPUTER ENGINEERING EXPLORATION

Abstract

This thesis presents a computer engineering exploration of the code translation process of a sinc-zooming application from C/C++ to pure C language. Sinc zooming algorithm is a common technique used in signal processing and image resizing applications. The original code is written in C/C ++ which includes object-oriented programming features such as classes. For the method part we have used sinc-zoom theory and translated the original code that involves removing object-oriented features and converting to pure C language. The challenges encountered during this process will be shown primarly related to the differences between these two programing languages and steps taken to successfully translate it. As a result, we generate the same exact images from different percentages of zoom-in, zoom-out and no zoom from both codes. This thesis documents the translation process and analyzes the resulting code by trying to reach the goal of generating the same exact results from both of the codes.
