==============================
Rescale, resize, and downscale
==============================

`Rescale` operation resizes an image by a given scaling factor. The scaling
factor can either be a single floating point value, or multiple values - one
along each axis.

`Resize` serves the same purpose, but allows to specify an output image shape
instead of a scaling factor.

Note that when down-sampling an image, `resize` and `rescale` should perform
Gaussian smoothing to avoid aliasing artifacts. See the `anti_aliasing` and
`anti_aliasing_sigma` arguments to these functions.

`Downscale` serves the purpose of down-sampling an n-dimensional image by
integer factors using the local mean on the elements of each block of the size
factors given as a parameter to the function.
