Re: [JAI-IMAGEIO] Rendered JPEG image not smooth

Yes this is an old topic and both Aarons and Brians suggestions refer to
what has been said before and AFIK correct.. But one thing I've not seen
discussed is:
Why is it that to get a 'properly' scaled down image we need to
operations in JAI? A low pass and scale.
I sorf of understand the philosophical issue, I guess, but one would
think that a single operation to do the scaling and averaging (low
passing) could be implemented to be much faster. Or is that not so?
On the face of it low pass (with large filter kernel) is rather slow
touching (a multiply and add) every pixel N times where N is the number
of kernetl elements..
Say you have a kernel 5 x 5 to low pass this every source pixels is the
average of neighbouring 25 pixels. Now you scale down by 5 leaving out 4
out of 5 pixels in both dimensions.
So why did we compute those left out pixels in the first place? A
smarter scale routine would just average those pixels that are actually
going to end up in the destination?.
Or I'm totally off the map here? What am I missing? IIRC I've read the
leptonica page but do remember that it would explain this...or maybe
I've just forgotten.
Would not be the first time

Aaron's suggestions are accurate. You are probably getting aliasing due
to not
having applied a low pass filter prior to scaling. I suggest also
reading the
following message
http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0311&L=jai-interest&F=&S=&P=15036
and the leptonica page to which it refers.

Please refer to the operations "SubsampleAverage" and "FilteredSubsample".
Also, some users might like to have fine grained control over the two
separately.
