For Scaling we have terms and definitions in 12 topics. The topics are Corrosion, DVD, DVD and CD, Graphic Design, Metal, Multimedia, Newspaper Design, Pavement, Quantum Chemistry, Science, Technical Illustration and Television.

Scaling (Corrosion)

(1) The formation at high temperatures of thick corrosion product layers on a metal surface. (2) The deposition of water-insoluble constituents on a metal surface

Scaling (DVD)

Altering the spatial resolution of a single image to increase or reduce the size; or altering the temporal resolution of an image sequence to increase or decrease the rate of display. Techniques include decimation, interpolation, motion compensation, replication, resampling, and subsampling. Most scaling methods introduce artifacts.

Scaling (DVD and CD)

Altering the spatial resolution of a single image to increase or reduce the size; or altering the temporal resolution of an image sequence to increase or decrease the rate of display. Techniques include decimation, interpolation, motion compensation, replication, resampling, and subsampling. Most scaling methods introduce artifacts.

Scaling (Graphic Design)

reduction or enlargement of artwork, which can be proportional (most frequently) or disproportional. In desktop publishing, optimal scaling of bitmaps is reduction or enlargement that will avoid or reduce moiré patterns.

Scaling (Metal)

(1) Oxidation of metal due to heat, resulting in relatively heavy surface layers of oxide. (2) Removal of scale from metal.Forming a thick layer of oxidation products on metals at high temperatures.

Scaling (Multimedia)

Scaling is the act of changing the resolution of an image. For example, scaling a 640 x 480 image by one-half results in a 320 x 240 image. Scaling by 2x results in an image that is 1280 x 960. There are many different methods for image scaling, and some "look" better than others. In general, though, the better the algorithm "looks", the more expensive it is to implement.

Scaling (Newspaper Design)

The overall spacing between characters in a block of type.

Scaling (Pavement)

Flaking or peeling away of the near-surface portion of hydraulic cement concrete or mortar.

Scaling (Quantum Chemistry)

Multiplying calculated results by an empirical fudge factor in the hope of getting a more accurate prediction. Very often done for vibrational frequencies computed at the HF/6-31G* level, for which the accepted scaling factor is 0.893 (17).

Scaling (Science)

The forming of a precipitate on some surface, such as calcium carbonate forming on the inside of a water pipe

Scaling (Technical Illustration)

(v) Determining the proper size of an image to be printed or reproduced.

Scaling (Television)

The reformatting of video or digital pictures to occupy a different number of scan lines or a different horizontal or vertical pixel count. Also referred to as "resampling". See Sampling. This is done to zoom an image on the screen without spreading out the existing scan lines, or to change the video from one format to another, for example HDTV to NTSC or NTSC to SECAM. Video Scaler -- Electronic device used to perform scaling, usually with a choice of scalings not necessarily an even multiple or fraction of the original scan line or pixel count.
