Abstract:
Image downscaling is arguably the most frequently used image processing tool. We present an algorithm based on convolutional filters where input pixels contribute more to the output image the more their color deviates from their local neighborhood, which preserves visually important details. In a user study we verify that users prefer our results over related work. Our efficient GPU implementation works in real-time when downscaling images from 24 M to 70 k pixels. Further, we demonstrate empirically that our method can be successfully applied to videos.
