Applications of Complex-Logarithmic Conformal Mapping in Still Image Coding

This paper evaluates the performance of an image compression system based upon the complex logarithmic conformal mapping. A staple in the robotics and visual systems fields, our attempts were to investigate the application of this algorithm in the field of image compression. The characteristics predisposed to the log sensor include a foveal region centered around the focal point which generates...

Coding of Still Pictures

Coding of Still Pictures

In 1996, the JPEG committee began to investigate possibilities for a new still image compression standard to serve current and future applications. This initiative, which was named JPEG2000, has resulted in a comprehensive standard (ISO 15444 | ITU-T Recommendation T.800) that is being issued in six parts. Part 1, in the same vein as the JPEG baseline system, is aimed at minimal complexity and ...

On Error-Robust Source Coding with Image Coding Applications

This thesis treats the problem of source coding in situations where the encoded data is subject to errors. The typical scenario is a communication system, where source data such as speech or images should be transmitted from one point to another. A problem is that most communication systems introduce some sort of error in the transmission. A wireless communication link is prone to introduce ind...
