ImageInterpolation

High quality, multi-platform pascal image interpolation (resizing/scaling) using TBitmap (VCL/FMX)

Supported sampling filters:

Nearest neighbor

Bilinear

Cosine

Hermite

Quadratic

Gaussian

Spline

Lanczos

Mitchell

CatmullRom (bicubic)

Introduction

I was having a very hard time finding image scaling (resizing) code that is free to use, simple to integrate and high in quality. I finally managed to find usable code in mark mauder's vampyre imaging library, but it was wrapped in a lot of code that overly complicated the specific use function I needed.

I ended up modifying the code to make it simpler to use with both the VCL and FMX versions of TBitmap.

Usage:

StretchResample(const SrcImage: TBitmap; SrcX, SrcY, SrcWidth,SrcHeight: LongInt; var DstImage: TBitmap; DstX, DstY, DstWidth, DstHeight: LongInt; Filter: TSamplingFilter; WrapEdges: Boolean = False); overload;

Example of resizing an image 50% :

ResizedImage.Width := SourceImage.Width div 2;

ResizedImage.Height := SourceImage.Height div 2;

StretchResample(SourceBitmap,0,0, MySourceBitmap.Width, MySourceBitmap.Height,ResizedBitmap,0,0,ResizedBitmap.Width,ResizedBitmap, sfLanczos,False);

Notes:

For simplicity, I only supported 32bit (R/G/B/A) bitmap.

The code is pure pascal, there are no low level CPU-specific optimizations.
