Abstract

In an image scaling method, an image (10) having an original row/column resolution N.sub.O is scaled into a scaled image (30) having a target row/column resolution N.sub.T. A filter set comprising .alpha. filters is provided, where .alpha. being equal to a quotient of the target resolution N.sub.T and a common denominator k of the original resolution N.sub.O and the target resolution N.sub.T. The common denominator k is a positive number larger than one. For at least one row/column (16/18) of image elements (12), a filtered image element (32) of the scaled image (30) is formed, for each filter in the filter set, by filtering at least one image element (12) of the at least one row/column (16/18) using the filter. This image element formation is repeated up to k times over the at least row/column (16/18) to form a scaled row/column (36/38) of image elements (32) of the scaled image (30).
