Effects of Improved Floor Function on the Accuracy of Bilinear Interpolation Algorithm

Abstract: In this study, the standard IEEE 754 2008 and modulo-based floor functions for rounding non-integers have been presented. Their effects on the accuracy of the bilinear interpolation algorithm have been demonstrated. The improved floor uses the modulo operator in an effort to make each non-integer addend an integer when the remainder between the multiplicative inverse of the fractional factor and the numerator is greater than zero. The experiments demonstrated relatively positive effects with the improved floor function and the alternativeness to the standard round function.
