    CC, with optimization 260,304.70 KB ImageMagick `-resize` 337,665.98 KB 52.39%

  11. 11 How does image resizing work?

  12. 12 685,936 pixels 189,739 pixels

  13. 13 …to 64 pixels? How do we get from 16

    pixels…

  14. 14 != resampling

  15. 15 …to 64 pixels? How do we get from 16

    pixels…

  16. 16 …to 64 pixels? How do we get from 16

    pixels… Background interpolation

  17. 17 …to 64 pixels? How do we get from 16

    pixels… Nearest-neighbour interpolation

  18. 18 Nearest-neighbour interpolation

  19. 19 Bicubic interpolation

  20. 20 Nearest-neighbour vs. bicubic interpolation

  21. 21 7 colours 1,146 colours

  22. 22

  23. More colours = More bytes* 23

  25. 25 How do we know which options are best?

  26. Quality objective: measured with DSSIM 26
