High quality image processing schemes are used more widely than ever according to the development of various visual media. We need a compressed form of image for sending more capacity and a controlling strategy of images for small display devices. In this paper, we propose an image upsampling and downsamplig scheme using DCT coefficients for those purposes. Our scheme is designed to control the size of picture based on the target display media by reducing the data in DCT domain while not increasing the computational burdens. With the power of controlling the resolution in DCT domain, the proposed method shows higher PSNR than other competing methods in experiment.

According to an evolution of image and video compression technologies, most digital images are in the compressed form. Resizing of these compressed images have various applications such as transmission of resized image according to varying bandwidth, content adaptation for display purpose and etc. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is the most popular transformation for image compression. Recently, several researches have been performed to obtain the reconstructed image of original size in the DCT domain after downsampling and upsampling in the DCT domain. Main focus of these researches is to improve quality of the reconstructed image after downsampling and upsampling in the DCT domain In this paper, we present an modified IDCT method to downsize DCT-encoded image. Furthermore, we propose an efficient scheme for image downsampling and upsampling in the DCT domain With these modified IDCT method. The proposed scheme Provides higher PSNR values than the existing schemes In terms of the reconstructed image after halving and doubling in the DCT domain.

Image upsampling can be performed in both spatial and frequency (transform) domain. In the spatial domain, various upsampling techniques are developed and 6-tap FIR interpolation filter is most well known method, which is embedded in many video coding standards. It can provide high subjective quality but shows low objective quality. In the transform domain, simple zero padding method can produce upsampled image easily. It shows better objective quality than 6-tap filtering, but it yields ringing effects which annoy eyes. In this paper, we present efficient upsampling method using frequency addition method in transform domain to provide better subjective and objective quality than conventional method Extensive simulation results show that the proposed algorithm produces visually fine images with high PSNR.

Given a video frame in terms of its 8${\times}$8 block-DCT coefncients, we wish to obtain a downsized or upsized version of this Dame also in terms of 8${\times}$8 block DCT coefficients. The DCT being a linear unitary transform is distributive over matrix multiplication. This fact has been used for downsampling video frames in the DCT domains in Dugad's, Mukherjee's, and Park's methods. The downsampling and upsampling schemes combined together preserve all the low-frequency DCT coefficients of the original image. This implies tremendous savings for coding the difference between the original frame (unsampled image) and its prediction (the upsampled image).This is desirable for many applications based on scalable encoding of video. In this paper, we extend the earlier works to various DCT sizes, when we downsample and then upsample of an image by a factor of two. Through experiment, we could improve the PSM values whenever we increase the DCT block size. However, because the complexity will be also increase, we can say there is a tradeoff. The experiment result would provide important data for developing fast algorithms of compressed-domain image/video resizing.

Image resizing is to change an image size by upsampling or downsampling of a digital image. Most still images and video frames are given in a compressed domain on digital media. Image resizing of a compressed image can be performed in a spatial domain via decompression or recompression. In general, resizing of a compressed image in a compressed domain is much faster than that in a spatial domain. In this paper, we propose an approach to resize images in the integer discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain, which exploits the multiplication-convolution property of DCT.

In this paper, a fast implementation of JPEG is discussed and its application to multimedia service is presented for mobile wireless internet. A fast JPEG player is developed based on several fast algorithms for mobile handset. In the color transformation, RCT is adopted instead of ICT for JPEG source. For the most time-consuming DCT part, the binDCT can reduce the decoding time. In upsampling and RGB conversion, the transformation from YCbCr to RGB 16 bit is made at one time. In some parts, assembly language is applied for high-speed. Also, an implementation of multimedia in mobile handset is described using MJPEG (Motion JPEG) and QCELP(Qualcomm Code Excited Linear Prediction Coding). MJPEG and QCELP are used for video and sound, which are synchronized in handset. For the play of MJPEG, the decoder is implemented as a S/W upon the MSM 5500 baseband chip using the fast JPEG decoder. For the play of QCELP, the embedded QCELP player in handset is used. The implemented multimedia player has a fast speed preserving the image quality.
