Downsampling

• From a verb: This is a redirect from an English-language verb or verb phrase to a related word or topic.

In digital signal processing, downsampling is the simple process of reducing a sequence of samples by retaining only one sample at regular intervals of two or more. Downsampling by an integer factor of M means retaining only every M^th sample of the sequence. Downsampling is part of a more involved process called decimation.
