template<...> void | resamplingConvolveImage (SrcIterator sul, SrcIterator slr, SrcAccessor src, DestIterator dul, DestIterator dlr, DestAccessor dest, KernelX const &kx, Rational< int > const &samplingRatioX, Rational< int > const &offsetX, KernelY const &ky, Rational< int > const &samplingRatioY, Rational< int > const &offsetY)
| Apply two separable resampling filters successively, the first in x-direction, the second in y-direction.

## Detailed Description

These functions implement the convolution operation when the source and target images have different sizes. This is realized by accessing a continous kernel at the appropriate non-integer positions. The technique is, for example, described in D. Schumacher: General Filtered Image Rescaling, in: Graphics Gems III, Academic Press, 1992.

## Function Documentation

void resamplingConvolveImage (...)

| Apply two separable resampling filters successively, the first in x-direction, the second in y-direction. This function is a shorthand for the concatenation of a call to resamplingConvolveX() and resamplingConvolveY() with the given kernels. See there for detailed documentation.

void resamplingConvolveX (...)

| Apply a resampling filter in the x-direction. This function implements a convolution operation in x-direction (i.e. applies a 1D filter to every row) where the width of the source and destination images differ. This is typically used to avoid aliasing if the image is scaled down, or to interpolate smoothly if the image is scaled up. The target coordinates are transformed into source coordinates by
        xsource = (xtarget - offset) / samplingRatio
The `samplingRatio` and `offset` must be given as vigra::Rational in order to avoid rounding errors in this transformation. It is required that for all pixels of the target image, `xsource` remains within the range of the source image (i.e. `0 <= xsource <= sourceWidth-1`. Since `xsource` is in general not an integer, the `kernel` must be a functor that can be accessed at arbitrary (`double`) coordinates. It must also provide a member function `radius()` which specifies the support (non-zero interval) of the kernel. VIGRA already provides a number of suitable functors, e.g. vigra::Gaussian, vigra::BSpline vigra::CatmullRomSpline, and vigra::CoscotFunction. The function resizeImageSplineInterpolation() is implemented by means resamplingConvolveX() and resamplingConvolveY(). Declarations: pass arguments explicitly:
        namespace vigra {
            template <class SrcIter, class SrcAcc,

        double x = ...;  // must be <= radius()
        double value = kernel(x);

void resamplingConvolveY (...)

| Apply a resampling filter in the y-direction. This function implements a convolution operation in y-direction (i.e. applies a 1D filter to every column) where the height of the source and destination images differ. This is typically used to avoid aliasing if the image is scaled down, or to interpolate smoothly if the image is scaled up. The target coordinates are transformed into source coordinates by
        ysource = (ytarget - offset) / samplingRatio
The `samplingRatio` and `offset` must be given as vigra::Rational in order to avoid rounding errors in this transformation. It is required that for all pixels of the target image, `ysource` remains within the range of the source image (i.e. `0 <= ysource <= sourceHeight-1`. Since `ysource` is in general not an integer, the `kernel` must be a functor that can be accessed at arbitrary (`double`) coordinates. It must also provide a member function `radius()` which specifies the support (non-zero interval) of the kernel.
