Abstract: A method and system for arbitrary resizing of a compressed image in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. First and second scaling parameters P and Q are determined in accordance with the block numbers L and M and the scaling ratio UM or M/L. A nonuniform, or uneven, sampling in the DCT domain is then applied to coefficients of successive blocks in the compressed image in accordance with the scaling parameters. In an embodiment, P blocks are sampled and transformed from a given block length to |P| according to a |P|-point IDCT, while Q blocks are sampled and transformed from a given block length to |Q| according to a |Q|-point IDCT. The non-uniformly sampled and transformed pixel domain samples are then regrouped into a predetermined block size and transformed back to generate the DCT coefficient of the compressed image. The proposed method significantly reduces the computational complexity compared with other DCT domain arbitrary ratio image resizing approach. It also facilitates the practical implementations since only the fast implementations of IDCT with length N (1 <N<9) and DCT with length 8 are required.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de conditionnement d'une image en 2D par calcul de son mouvement par rapport à un plan d'image. Les structures en 2D de l'image sont corrélées entre des images séparées dans le temps à l'aide de transformées de Radon (2) pour deux angles (ou plus) de manière à réduire les calculs de corrélation entre une corrélation en 2D et une corrélation d'au moins deux projections en 1D. L'un des problèmes posés par les méthodes de projection est la distorsion possible de la projection due aux modifications de la scène. L'invention se propose pour y remédier de différencier (3) les projections en 1D pour obtenir des gradients des projections comme base de la corrélation d'images séparées dans le temps, puis de conditionner le signal. L'invention porte en outre sur un développement du procédé selon lequel on ignore la magnitude des gradients des projection, et on utilise le signe (4) du gradient pour une représentation binaire servant de base à la corrélation d'images séparées dans le temps.
