Outline • Introduction • DCT-Domain Image Resizing • Decomposition of DCT-Domain Image Resizing Operation • Proposed DCT-Domain Image Resizing Method • Discussion on DCT-Domain Filtering • Experimental Result • Conclusion
Introduction • Many image and video compression standards such as JPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and H.261 are based on DCT coding techniques. • In MPEG-2, there are field and frame pictures to accommodate coding of progressive and interlaced video. • Previous DCT-domain image resizing methods assume that all macroblocks are in the frame mode.
DCT-Domain Image Resizing : Four Steps • Low-pass filtering in the DCT domain • Inverse DCT • 2 : 1 downsampling • Forward DCT
DCT-Domain Image Resizing : Matrices DCT transform matrix Downsampling matrix Low-pass filter
Discussion on DCT-Domain Filtering (1) • Previous methods are simple low-pass filtering by truncation in DCT domain • The matrix is not equivalent to sharp low-pass filter in DFT domain, and dose not correspond to a liner convolution in the spatial domain • May produce visible aliasing and blocking artifacts • Affect differently the field- and frame-mode in spatial domain may result in serious blocking artifacts between field- and frame-mode macroblocks
Discussion on DCT-Domain Filtering (2) • The implicit low-pass filtering operation as averaging by the downsampling matrices would be a good compromise for block-based DCT-domain image resizing • Would not have any blocking artifact • The filtering characteristics should be the same for field- and frame-mode macroblocks
Conclusion • Propose method can handle field-mode • Avoid the blocking artifacts and the difference in the characteristics between field- and frame-mode macroblocks • Future research could be performed for more efficient for low-pass filtering in the DCT domain for DCT-domain image resizing
