Abstract
A method of adaptive downsampling includes the steps of: (a) receiving input data having a first spatial resolution and a first grid spacing; (b) resampling the input data using an automatically adjustable kernel; and (c) providing output data having a second spatial resolution and a second grid spacing. The second spatial resolution, advantageously, is substantially constant across the second grid spacing. The input data may include image data, and the output data may include resampled, or downsampled image data. The image data may be images of the Earth at a first spatial resolution and a first grid spacing; the output data may be resampled data of the images of the Earth at a second spatial resolution and a second grid spacing.
