IYUV to YUV4

ThexFiyuv2yuv4function converts a single channel IYUV image to a YUV444 format. Y plane is same for both the formats. The inputs are separate U and V planes of IYUV image and the outputs are separate U and V planes of YUV4 image. IYUV stores subsampled U,V values. YUV format stores U and V values for every pixel. The same U, V values are duplicated for 2 rows and 2 columns (2x2) pixels in order to get the required data in the YUV444 format.

API Syntax
