ABSTRACT:
A method of decimation of a digital image, the digital image represented by a plurality of pixels, is claimed. In the pixel domain, the digital image is divided into a plurality of blocks. Certain ones of the blocks are selectively decimated based upon predetermined criteria. In an embodiment, the chrominance portions of a given pixel block are decimated.
