Abstract
This invention relates to a method for enlarging/reducing digital images, which carries out the image scale conversion processing uniformly and smoothly according to the regional mapping method to create the mutual positional relation within the reference frame between the pixels of an original image and the pixels of a new image. By using this method, each of the new image pixels and the corresponding region of the original image pixels can be determined, moreover, the average method or the interpolation method can be used within this region to achieve the effect of scaling the digital images on a computer display or the device having a LCD display uniformly and smoothly without having the mosaic effect while enlargement and deformity while reduction. The image scale conversion processing can also be achieved at a high speed.
