Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new scaling algorithm which performs the scaling up/down transform using an area pixel model rather than a point pixel model. The proposed algorithm uses a variable number of pixels of an original image to calculate a pixel of the scaled image. Our algorithm has good characteristics such as fine-edge and good smoothness. Different quality parameters (standard deviation, root mean square error, aliasing, edge map) are used to compare our algorithm with four image scaling algorithms: nearest neighbour, bilinear, bicubic and winscale algorithms. The results show that our algorithm generally produces images of better quality with few aliasing, few blur and high contrast.
