Visual Pattern Image Coding by a Morphological Approach (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper presents an improvement of the Visual Pattern image coding (VPIC) scheme presented by Chen and Bovik in [2] and [3]. The patterns in this improved scheme are defined by morphological operations and classified by absolute error minimization. The improved scheme identifies more uniform blocks and reduces the noise effect. Therefore, it improves the compression ratio and image quality i...

A New Image Coding Technique Unifying Fractal and Transform Coding

We present a new image coding scheme based on an unification of fractal and transform coding. We introduce a generalization of the luminance transformation used by fractal coding schemes. By extending the luminance transformation to the frequency domain, fractal and transform coding become subsets of the proposed transformation. Our new coding scheme FTC (fractal based transform coding) combine...

Image Reconstruction from Incomplete Data

Sparse-Coding-Based Computed Tomography Image Reconstruction

Computed tomography (CT) is a popular type of medical imaging that generates images of the internal structure of an object based on projection scans of the object from several angles. There are numerous methods to reconstruct the original shape of the target object from scans, but they are still dependent on the number of angles and iterations. To overcome the drawbacks of iterative reconstruct...
