Elastic Downsampling: An Adaptive Downsampling Technique to Preserve Image Quality [PDF]
Electronics, 2021 This paper presents a new adaptive downsampling technique called elastic downsampling, which enables high compression rates while preserving the image quality. Adaptive downsampling techniques are based on the idea that image tiles can use different sampling rates depending on the amount of information conveyed by each block.
