Downsampling
In digital signal processing, downsampling, compression, and decimation are terms associated with the process of ''resampling'' in a multi-rate digital signal processing system. Both ''downsampling'' and ''decimation'' can be synonymous with ''compression'', or they can describe an entire process of bandwidth reduction (filtering) and sample-rate reduction. When the process is performed on a sequence of samples of a ''signal'' or a continuous function, it produces an approximation of the sequence that would have been obtained by sampling the signal at a lower rate (or density, as in the case of a photograph). ''Decimation'' is a term that historically means the '' removal of every tenth one''. But in signal processing, ''decimation by a factor of 10'' actually means ''keeping'' only every tenth sample. This factor multiplies the sampling interval or, equivalently, divides the sampling rate. For example, if compact disc audio at 44,100 samples/second is ''decimated'' by a factor of 5 ...

Upsampling
In digital signal processing, upsampling, expansion, and interpolation are terms associated with the process of resampling in a multi-rate digital signal processing system. ''Upsampling'' can be synonymous with ''expansion'', or it can describe an entire process of ''expansion'' and filtering (''interpolation''). When upsampling is performed on a sequence of samples of a ''signal'' or other continuous function, it produces an approximation of the sequence that would have been obtained by sampling the signal at a higher rate (or density, as in the case of a photograph). For example, if compact disc audio at 44,100 samples/second is upsampled by a factor of 5/4, the resulting sample-rate is 55,125. Upsampling by an integer factor Rate increase by an integer factor ''L'' can be explained as a 2-step process, with an equivalent implementation that is more efficient: #Expansion: Create a sequence, x_L comprising the original samples, x separated by ''L'' − 1 zeros.&n ...

Sample Rate Conversion
Sample-rate conversion, sampling-frequency conversion or resampling is the process of changing the sampling rate or sampling frequency of a discrete signal to obtain a new discrete representation of the underlying continuous signal. Application areas include image scaling and audio/visual systems, where different sampling rates may be used for engineering, economic, or historical reasons. For example, Compact Disc Digital Audio and Digital Audio Tape systems use different sampling rates, and American television, European television, and movies all use different frame rates. Sample-rate conversion prevents changes in speed and pitch that would otherwise occur when transferring recorded material between such systems. More specific types of resampling include: ''upsampling'' or ''upscaling''; ''downsampling'', ''downscaling'', or ''decimation''; and ''interpolation''. The term multi-rate digital signal processing is sometimes used to refer to systems that incorporate sample-rate co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Posterization
Posterization or posterisation of an image is the conversion of a continuous gradation of tone to several regions of fewer tones, causing abrupt changes from one tone to another. This was originally done with photographic processes to create posters. It can now be done photographically or with digital image processing, and may be deliberate or an unintended artifact of color quantization. Cause The effect may be created deliberately, or happen accidentally. For artistic effect, most image editing programs provide a posterization feature, or photographic processes may be used. Unwanted posterization, also known as color banding, banding, may occur when the color depth, sometimes called bit depth, is insufficient to accurately sample a continuous gradation of color tone. As a result, a continuous gradient appears as a series of discrete steps or bands of color — hence the name. When discussing fixed pixel displays, such as LCD and plasma televisions, this effect is referred ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
