Does libjpeg allows/have routines to scale the output image?
I have an image which needs to be resized when saving to and loading from, Providing width1, height1 on input and getting width2, height2 on output, and I really cant use anything outside.
Yes, libjpeg does support image scaling, but with some limitations.
Libjpeg version 8c and higher supports M/8 scaling where M is an integer between 1 and 16. The more commonly used libjpeg version 6b supports M of 1, 2, 4, and 8 only (i.e. power-of-2 downscaling).
Supply the scaling numerator and denominator to the decompression object using scale_num and scale_denom. See jpeg_decompress_struct in jpeglib.h. You can refer to djpeg.c for a usage example.
This is much faster, and potentially higher quality, than decoding the whole image and then downscaling.
