Sampling

1. Subsampling

When a high resolution image is downsampled, subsampling is the way a low resolution image represents the original high resolution one. Pixels to be merged should decide what color to be painted using, for example, average downsampling.

2. Supersampling

When a low resolution image is upsampled, it is required that new pixels be generated. Once the original image is subdivided, new pixels can be generated by referencing neighboring pixels and interpolating them.
