Hi all,

What I want to do is to lower the resolution of my image (from a webcam) to 176x64.

Currently I'm sampling the pixels at the locations which would be at the centre of the "larger" pixels, but this is unsatisfactory as it ignores all the other pixels in the area.

I can imagine several ways of doing this:

1. Lower the resolution of the image

2. Shrink the image

3. Sample all pixels in a region and take an average

Which ways are possible? Which is easiest?

Thanks guys!

PS I attach a picture that should explain what I'm after.

Hmmm... You could write a patch to average a sample of the image with pix_data, do it recursively for the whole image, and then color a recursive grid.... Isn't there something like a [pix_mosaic] object?

If you use Gridflow you can downscale and then upscale it. Try using the attached patch
