What is nearest-neighbor scaling?
Nearest-neighbor interpolation
This is probably the simplest image scaling method. Every output pixel is replaced by its nearest pixel in the input. In 1 dimension, the value at x is the value of its nearest point. The blue line is the nearest-neighbor interpolation of the red dots.
Are JPEG images scalable?
The JPEG standard for still image compression provides the framework for reconstructing images in different sizes and picture qualities. These features are generally referred to as spatial and SNR scalability, respectively, and are extremely important in a variety of applications.
What is the disadvantage of nearest-neighbor interpolation?
The disadvantage of using the nearest-neighbor algorithm for image interpolation is the production of upscaled images with the most jagged-edges among other well-known algorithms5.
Which method is high quality scaling algorithm for enlarging images?
Better scaling methods include bicubic interpolation, Lanczos resampling and Mitchell-Netravali filters.
