Subpixel-based image down-sampling

A system, comprising:

• a partition component configured to divide a first array of pixels into two-dimensional (2-D) blocks of pixels;
• and
• a sampling component configured to:
• receive a query from a device including information associated with a display of the device;
• diagonally down-sample subpixels of a block of the 2-D blocks;
• and
• generate a second array of pixels based on the down-sampled subpixels and the query.

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for communicating a network based query including information associated with displaying an image;
• means for receiving the image based on the network based query;
• and
• means for displaying the image.

A computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• dividing an array of pixels into two-dimensional (2-D) blocks of pixels;
• receiving a query from a device including information associated with a display of the device;
• diagonally down-sampling subpixels of a block of the 2-D blocks;
• and
• generating an other array of pixels based on the information associated with the display and a result of the diagonally down-sampling the subpixels.

A computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• evaluating information associated with a display of a device;
• receiving a request associated with a network based interface;
• updating, by a display driver, the request based on the information associated with the display to obtain a query including at least a portion of the information;
• and
• communicating, via the network based interface, the query.

A method, comprising:

• dividing an array of pixels into two-dimensional (2-D) blocks of pixels;
• receiving a query from a device including information associated with a display of the device;
• diagonally down-sampling subpixels of a block of the 2-D blocks utilizing an interpolation filter;
• and
• generating an other array of pixels based on the information associated with the display and a result of the diagonally down-sampling the subpixels.
