How to resize CIImage?

Question

I need to resize more image in one "for" but if I use UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext, I don't have enough memory for more images, because it stay on autorelease and images released when "for" is terminated. I need another method for resize. Any ideas. Thanks

-(UIImage *)imageWithImage:(UIImage *)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize {
CGSize targetSize = newSize;      
CGSize imageSize = image.size;
CGFloat width = imageSize.width;
CGFloat height = imageSize.height;
CGFloat targetWidth = targetSize.width;
CGFloat targetHeight = targetSize.height;
CGFloat scaleFactor = 0.0;
CGFloat scaledWidth = targetWidth;
CGFloat scaledHeight = targetHeight;
CGPoint thumbnailPoint = CGPointMake(0.0,0.0);

if (CGSizeEqualToSize(imageSize, targetSize) == NO) 
{
    CGFloat widthFactor = targetWidth / width;
    CGFloat heightFactor = targetHeight / height;

    if (widthFactor > heightFactor) 
        scaleFactor = widthFactor; // scale to fit height
    else
        scaleFactor = heightFactor; // scale to fit width
    scaledWidth  = width * scaleFactor;
    scaledHeight = height * scaleFactor;

    // center the image
    if (widthFactor > heightFactor)
    {
        thumbnailPoint.y = (targetHeight - scaledHeight) * 0.5; 
    }
    else 
        if (widthFactor < heightFactor)
        {
            thumbnailPoint.x = (targetWidth - scaledWidth) * 0.5;
        }
}       

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(targetSize); // this will crop

CGRect thumbnailRect = CGRectZero;
thumbnailRect.origin = thumbnailPoint;
thumbnailRect.size.width  = scaledWidth;
thumbnailRect.size.height = scaledHeight;

[image drawInRect:thumbnailRect];
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
//pop the context to get back to the default
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

return newImage;
}


-(void)preparePhotosForResolution:(CGSize)resolution {
NSLog(@"Resolution : %f,%f",resolution.width,resolution.height);
NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *tmpPath = [projectPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"temp"];
[fm removeItemAtPath:tmpPath error:nil];
[fm createDirectoryAtPath:tmpPath withIntermediateDirectories:YES attributes:nil error:nil];
for (int i = 0; i < [sortArray count]; i++) {
    UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[projectPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:[sortArray objectAtIndex:i]]];
    UIImage *newImage = [self imageWithImage:image scaledToSize:resolution];
    [image release];
    NSData *imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(newImage);
    [fm createFileAtPath:[tmpPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:[sortArray objectAtIndex:i]] contents:imgData attributes:nil];
}
}

Answer 1

With above objective-c code in swift.

inputImage = CIImage
inputScale       =  targetSize.width / originalSize.width
inputAspectRatio =  targetSize.width / (originalSize.width * resizeRatio)


    let resizeFilter = CIFilter(name: "CILanczosScaleTransform")
    resizeFilter?.setValue(inputImage, forKey: "inputImage")
    resizeFilter?.setValue(inputScale, forKey: "inputScale")
    resizeFilter?.setValue(inputAspectRatio, forKey: "inputAspectRatio")
    
    let outputImage = resizeFilter?.outputImage

Answer 2

    CIFilter *filter = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CILanczosScaleTransform"];
    [filter setValue:newImage forKey:@"inputImage"];
    [filter setValue:@(scale) forKey:@"inputScale"];
    [filter setValue:@1.0 forKey:@"inputAspectRatio"];
    newImage = filter.outputImage;
