ResizeImage

Description¶

Resize an image using a sinc interpolator. Without command line arguments, the example resizes a synthetic image. An image file can be passed on the command lines. The new dimensions can also be passed as well as an integer specifying the window for sinc interpolator. See vtkImageSincInterpolator for details. A -1 turns off interpolation.

Several window functions are provided. See this article for a description og window functions. vtkImageResize maintains the physical size of the image.

Note

This example was inspired by a question asked by Qiang Wang.

Download and Build ResizeImage¶

Click here to download ResizeImage and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball ResizeImage.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd ResizeImage/build

If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./ResizeImage

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
