Usage of ippiResizeCenter()

[Mark_R]

I have 2 images representing the same scene (that is rendered with different resolution) andI want to display them one after another (low resolution then high resolution). I use ippiResizeCenter() with an appropriate scaling factor (such that imagewill fill the viewport).

When I pass (width-1)/2.0 and (height-1)/2.0 as xCenter and yCenter (where width and height are the size of each image), I get a small shift between the two images. My question is what xCenter and yCenter should I providein this scenario, i.e. if I want the center of the source image to stay at the center of the destination image?

Thank you.

It seems that the origin of the image coordinates is the left topmost corner of the first pixel, and not its center. I haven't found this in the documentation.

Hi Mark,

that's correct. In IPP image coordinates are starts from top-left corner of image, see IPPI Manual, p2-22, 23 - Regions of Interest in Intel IPP

Hi Vladimir,

I also used ippiResizeSqrPixel and compared the results with ippiResizeCenter. After I provide the correct center parameter,ippiResizeCenter causes a small scaling change between the both images, while ippiResizeSqrPixel works perfect.

Another question is what is the difference between the two algorithms? What is the performance difference?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Vladimir,

Yet another question is what the difference between ippiResizeGetBufSize and ippiResizeSqrPixelGetBufSize, and why ippiResizeSqrPixelGetBufSize doesn't support IPPI_INTER_SUPER ?

Thanks,

Mark

Nikolay,

Still it is interesting why is theresome scaling change when I use ippiResizeCenter?
