ResizeImage

vtk-examples/Cxx/Images/ResizeImage

Description

Resize an image using a sinc interpolator. Without command line arguments, the example resizes a synthetic image. An image file can be passed on the command lines. The new dimensions can also be passed as well as an integer specifying the window for sinc interpolator. See vtkImageSincInterpolator for details. A -1 turns off interpolation.

Several window functions are provided. See this article for a description og window functions.

vtkImageResize maintains the physical size of the image.

Note

This example was inspired by a question asked by Qiang Wang.

Seealso

The paper "Some windows with very good sidelobe behavior" describes the windows implemented in vtkImageSincInterpolator.

Download and Build ResizeImage

Click here to download ResizeImage and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball ResizeImage.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd ResizeImage/build

If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./ResizeImage
