Resizing with subpixel precision - Ipp32f?

[John_M_1]

If I want to work with Subpixel precision, I read on another post that someone is using Ipp32f types for that purpose.

But I fail to understand how that can help me.

If I have a Grayscale 16 image, where 1 pixel == 2 bytes, how would I represent the byte array in Ipp32f? And the function ippiResizeLinear_32f_C1R, for example, still takes IppiPoint and IppiSize which contain height and width in integers...

What am I missing here?

Hi John,

If you need subpixel precision, you can use the function ippiResizeSqrPixel_16u_C1R. It works with real scale factors and shifts, but this function is deprecated and can be removed in next releases. Alternatively, ippiWarpAffine_16u_C1R can be used for resize processing, because resize operation is the special case of an affine transformation. ippiWarpAffine is slow compared with ippiResizeSqrPixel, we are working on warp functions to reach better performance.

Thank you Valentin,

So, eventually when ippiResizeSqlPixel is dropped, ippiWarpAffine will be the ideal substitute for it?

Thanks

I consider that warp affine functions will be the most suitable for a resize transformation with subpixel precision, if ippiResizeSqlPixel is dropped.
