Downsampling and Upsampling

Downsampling as prefilter plus decimate with cascades for powers of two, and upsampling as zero-stuffing expansion plus an interpolation filter.

The two directions are not opposites

5. Anatomy of downsampling

Which composition correctly defines downsampling an image by a factor of two, and why is the order of the operators not interchangeable?

6. Expansion under the microscope

The signal [a,b][a, b] is expanded by k=2k = 2. Which statement about the result and its spectrum is correct?

7. Expanding a short signal

The two-sample signal [a,b][a, b] is expanded by a factor of k=2k = 2 using zero-stuffing. Write the value at index 1 of the expanded signal.
