A new cubic convolution spline Interpolation (CCSI) for both one-dimensiona
l (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) signals is developed in order to subsampl
e signal and image compression data. The CCSI yields a very accurate algori
thm for smoothing. It is also shown that this new and fast smoothing filter
fur CCSI can be used with the JPEG standard to design an improved JPEG enc
oder-decoder fur a high compression ratio.
