Method and apparatus for resizing a compressed image

摘要

A method (300; 500) and apparatus (100) for reducing information artifacts imparted to a decoded video information stream by an MPEG-like decoder utilizing discrete transform (DCT) domain compression to produce a size-reduced reference image information frame. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention responsively selects one of a plurality of pre-defined DCT coefficient matrices in response to the amount of compression to be imparted to the reference image information frame, and the presence or absence of field-mode encoding the reference image information frame. <IMAGE>
