Does anyone have any good links to image scaling info or perdo code etc.
As i need to scale a bmp image up or down in size.
Thanks.

you can try with raytracing approach.
i'll try it one day.

Thanks, but it was more the maths part.

PS: And how does the raytracing approach go edfed ?.

That's awfully slow and you can't use "edge-detection" algorithms easy either.

If want just simple algorithm, it is very similar thing as line drawing (?bresenham?) algorithm. Scaling one line would be:

simplest with real numbers:

Code:

for (x=0; x<dest_xsz; x++) {
  destbmp[x] = srcbmp[(x/dest_xsz)*src_xsz]
}

constant stuff removed from loop: (x/dest_xsz)*src_xsz = x*(src_xsz/dest_xsz), second parenthesis is constant

Code:

step = src_xsz / dest_xsz;
for (x=0; x<dest_xsz; x++) {
  destbmp[x] = srcbmp[step*x]
}

real numbers removed: we multiply all "stepping" constants with dest_xsz to remove real numbers

Code:

step = src_xsz;
d = 0;
srcindex = 0;
for (x=0; x<dest_xsz; x++) {
  d += step;
  if (d > dest_xsz) {
    srcindex++;
    d-=dest_xsz;
  }
  destbmp[x] = srcbmp[srcindex]
}

To support also shrinking, simply change last "if" to "while".

Of course, you need to find good initializer for "d" and fix boundaries, to make sure pixels are evenly selected. That is the harder part.

I believe vid's scaling is called ...heh I can't even remember it... without any kind of resampling I mean Very Happy

Some hardcore for increasing image: link
but of course its the best.

For lowering image dimensions there's vids representation with SSE help Smile

that might do the trick.

One more link that you probably found yourself already:
http://www.compuphase.com/graphic/scale2.htm

Btw, does anyone know how to get to the C-drive of http://www.sandpile.org/docs/intel/isa-ext.htm ? I would love to see those PDF-s. Especially scoll down to AVX!

So did you read the note at the top of the page?

Oops, nope, it was too small Smile

Its a rather tempting linking they got there: file:///c:/home/manuals/intel/isa/avx/lanczos.pdf

Hmm, that was my half-goal. Actually seems that they've gathered interesting documents in one place, but when the Intel PDFs are public, how can or WHY? would sandpile hide them from the masses?

...
I hope the Alphonso's posted links help Dex4u develop image scaling Smile

Thanks all for the links and perdo, i have got enough info, so now i can start coding and than optimizing.
Thanks again.
