Hi, I'm still working on updating my image management codebase, and I noticed that GIL does come only with by a very limited image rescaling/resampling algorithm (in gil/extension/numeric/resample.hpp) which does proper filtering for upsampling an image. As I need more robust image resampling, I came up with a source code for GIL, inspired by FreeImage implementation<http://freeimage.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freeimage/FreeImage/Source/FreeImageToolkit/>; this code is available here :: http://code.google.com/p/rotoglup-scratchpad/source/browse/trunk/#trunk/rtgu... This implementation is certainly not as generic as it could be, and could certainly benefit from 'gil concept checking' and various improvements ; I tried to make the code more 'readable' than 'efficient', and as I'm not really at ease with template metaprogramming, I may have missed a few points. For example, I think the mechanism I use to select the intermediate pixel format (used to store the averaged pixels during resizing) may be improved, and that there must be a way to let the user select a better pixel format if needed. I came up with virtual rescale view type, that allows to seamlessly rescale virtual views of any kind - it is not very efficient, but can be proved useful. I tried, as much as possible, to provide access to separable rescale functions (X & Y) so that users can control when/how (or whether) they should allocate the intermediate view for image rescaling. Feel free to use this work, and I'd be very happy to have some feedback on things that could be improved. The main functions defined are, in rescale.hpp<http://code.google.com/p/rotoglup-scratchpad/source/browse/trunk/rtgu/image/rescale.hpp>:: // horizontal rescale only, rescale src view into dst view, matching dst view width template <typename SrcView, typename DstView, typename Filter> inline void rescale_cols(const SrcView& src, const DstView& dst, const Filter& filter); // vertical rescale only, rescale src view into dst view, matching dst view height template <typename SrcView, typename DstView, typename Filter> inline void rescale_rows(const SrcView& src, const DstView& dst, const Filter& filter); // rescale src view into dst view, matching dst view dimensions template <typename SrcView, typename DstView, typename Filter> inline void rescale(const SrcView& src, const DstView& dst, const Filter& filter); in rescale_any_view.hpp<http://code.google.com/p/rotoglup-scratchpad/source/browse/trunk/rtgu/image/rescale_any_view.hpp>:: template <typename ViewTypes, typename Filter> inline void rescale_any_view(any_image_view<ViewTypes>& src, any_image_view<ViewTypes>& dst, const Filter& filter); in rescale_virtual_view.hpp<http://code.google.com/p/rotoglup-scratchpad/source/browse/trunk/rtgu/image/rescale_virtual_view.hpp>:: // view factories template <typename SourceView, typename Filter> typename rescale_x_view_type<SourceView>::view_t rescale_x_view(SourceView const& view, typename SourceView::coord_t dst_width, const Filter& filter); template <typename SourceView, typename Filter> typename rescale_y_view_type<SourceView>::view_t rescale_y_view(SourceView const& view, typename SourceView::coord_t dst_height, const Filter& filter); template <typename SourceView, typename Filter> typename rescale_view_type<SourceView>::view_t rescale_view(SourceView const& view, typename SourceView::coord_t dst_width, typename SourceView::coord_t dst_height, const Filter& filter); and a few filters<http://code.google.com/p/rotoglup-scratchpad/source/browse/trunk/rtgu/image/filters.hpp>are provided. Cheers, Nicolas. **
