bilinear interpolation optimiziation using ARM

Note: This was originally posted on 16th March 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

I'm working on ARM, and I'm trying to optimize downsampling an image, I have used OpenCV cv::resize and its slow ~3ms for 1280*960 to 400*300, I'm trying to use ARM neon to accelerate it, however I find it hard to get along the ARM neon instructions to rewrite it. I also tried to read few tutorials from arm.blog, and hilberspace.de, but still there are a lot of missing information about the topic, so I would like also someone to recommend a book or something about that topic.
I tried to think about the problem regarding ARM Neon language, so the instructions that load the registers load 8 bytes in one time in a row, but according my algorithm I try to load 4 bytes and interpolate between them.. I couldn't get how to implement that in ARM Neon. It would be a great learning experience

Here is my function:

it seems there is a problem with formatting code here in the forums.
