  • METHOD, ARRANGEMENT, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR SCALING TWO-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20130011082
    Abstract: A method for scaling two-dimensional structures, which is especially usable for resizing digital 2D images with a rational scaling factor, is based on efficient implementation of a diamond-shaped filter. The conventional “1”-diamond matrices of variable size are replaced by a (m×n) coefficient matrix. For any given rational scaling factor, the computational load for calculating an output pixel is reduced to filtering (m×n) input pixels with a corresponding (m×n) filter matrix. The coefficients of this filter matrix depend from the phase of the output pixel to be calculated and the factor of interpolation, but are always integer numbers. The coefficients may be stored in lookup tables (LUT), which leads to a very efficient implementation of the inventive method. In one embodiment, a (3×3) coefficient matrix has been found to be advantageous.
