IMAGE_DECIMATE
Remove Even Rows and Columns From Image


IMAGE_DECIMATE, a MATLAB program which "decimates" an image by removing the even rows and columns, resulting in a file that is about 1/4 the size of the original.

Modifying an image in this way is a very crude method of compression. However, it does suggest how much redundant information exists in a typical image file.
