My first suggestion was sharperbox sharpbox smoothbox smootherbox for the samplers (distinct by values of parameters) which are tuned for downsampling (because these schemes are relatives of exact area box filtering) and sharper sharp smooth smoother for the samplers which are tuned for upsampling. (Note that the former will do an OK job at upsampling, and the latter, esp "smoother," will do an OK job at downsampling: I'm talking about "tuning" here.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Let me guess that you don't want 8 variants in total. So, how about only using parameter values 0 and 1 (skipping intermediate values) for each, for a total of four methods? Does this sound preferable? With this in mind, here are some suggestions for the "tuned for downsampling" sampler: sharpdown and smoothdown or sharpthumb and smooththumb For the ones "tuned for upsampling:" sharp and smooth or sharpup and smoothup (or sharper and smoother) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Can you (yes, I mean you) think of better names? Basically, there are two pairs of samplers to name. One pair is tuned for downsampling (e.g., producing thumbnails, that is, producing a smaller version of the original) and the other pair is tuned for upsampling (enlarging the image), although they both do an OK job for all warps. Within each pair, there is an interpolatory one (a "sharper" version of the scheme) and one which has stronger antialiasing by way of "special" smoothing (a "smoother" version of the scheme).
