Sampling concerns in scanline algorithms
1Department of Electronic Systems Engineering, University of Essex, Colchester, UK.
Abstract:
This paper investigates the problem of providing suitable interpolation for scanline algorithms. These algorithms are of interest, as they are parallelizable. A structure for analyzing the problem is given. The theory in regard to resampling is developed in the context of a scanline algorithm for image rotation. The theory is compared to results arrived at in practice. Alternative interpolation schemes are discussed, including the use of a cubic Hermite interpolator. The paper points to theoretical limitations of scanline algorithms.

Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...
