I've been playing around with some image scaling stuff tonight and came up with the following. I'm interested in your opinions.
In this post, tepples talks about doubling the image size with nearest-neighbor interpolation before performing any additional resizing with bilinear interpolation. The method I came up with is essentially an extension of this idea, except that it's done in one step and the amount of bilinear interpolation is adjustable (hence the 'fractional' in fractional bilinear filtering).
The implementation is pretty simple. Here's the shader code.
fbi.fx:
Some sample images to help illustrate the concept:
Nearest-neighbor:
Bilinear interpolation:
And somewhere in-between:
If you'd like to play around with it, I put together a demo app. Use the up and down arrows (or page up/down) to adjust the amount of interpolation. DX10 (Win Vista+) is required and you may need to download some libraries from Microsoft if you get messages about missing dlls: MSVC++ redistributable and the DirectX runtime.
