Abstract

An edge-preserving method for image resizing (decimation and interpolation) is proposed. The decimation is considered as an orthogonal projection with respect to the chosen interpolation basis. The latter one is formed in a spline-like manner as a linear combination of B-splines of different degrees. This combination is optimized in such a way that the small image details are preserved. Considering the strongest edges as step edges, a segmentation procedure preceding the decimation is proposed. It leads to resized images with clearly outlined borders.
