Summary
| Description |
English: Part of a series of images to compare and contrast the levels of spatial aliasing that can result when an image that contains some strong spatial frequencies is digitally rescaled. An image of an 1801 engraving of King's College Chapel, Cambridge was used as a test object, and resized to 50% using different filters and different programs.
The image on this page was resized to 50% using Image Magick 6.7.5 with the "box filter" option -- i.e. straight-forward averaging over 4 old pixels to create each new one. Compared to decimation, the unwanted Moiré patterns are much reduced. They are essentially no longer visible in the road and the building and the clouds. However, although softened a bit, they do still remain in the sky. Other images in the series look at the results of using other available lowpass filters to try to further minimse or suppress such artefacts. |
