Can you suggest me a good downsampling algorithm for an image. I explored area averaging method, but I am looking for better. I am using good in the sense that it should be less computational expensive and output image should be good by look and free from aliasing, checkboard effect etc.

  • $\begingroup$ It is not possible to have an artifact-free method without reducing the space of images, nor providing details about the level of downsampling you when to use $\endgroup$ Commented May 17, 2020 at 19:13

To avoid checkerboard effect, you could consider a Gaussian smoothing filter.

There is a nice discussion with image examples for the open source application Imagemagick: here and here.
