چکیده

An image compression method has been developed using fuzzy edge image utilizing the basic Block Truncation Coding (BTC) algorithm. The fuzzy edge image has been validated with classical edge detectors on the basis of the results of the well-known Canny edge detector prior to applying to the proposed method. The bit plane generated by the conventional BTC method is replaced with the fuzzy bit plane generated by the logical OR operation between the fuzzy edge image and the corresponding conventional BTC bit plane. The input image is encoded with the block mean and standard deviation and the fuzzy bit plane. The proposed method has been tested with test images of 8 bits/pixel and size 512×512 and found to be superior with better Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) when compared to the conventional BTC, and adaptive bit plane selection BTC (ABTC) methods. The raggedness and jagged appearance, and the ringing artifacts at sharp edges are greatly reduced in reconstructed images by the proposed method with the fuzzy bit plane. Keywords—Image compression, Edge detection, Ground truth image, Peak signal to noise ratio

Improving block truncation coding by line and edge information and adaptive bit plane selection for gray-scale image compression

A new approach to improving block truncation coding for gray-scale image compression is proposed. A set of line and edge bit planes is defined independently of input images and adaptively selected to yield lower bit rates and better reconstructed image quality.

Hybrid vector quantization

Natural images can be segmented into regions with widely varying perceptual importance. There are three types of regions in a typical image. The region in which the contrast between objects and background is high is categorized as the edge. Due to the high contrast, human eyes will naturally pay much attention to the edges. Thus, edge regions are very important for human perception. The second ...

Predictive moment preserving block truncation coding for gray-level image compression

In this paper, a novel image compression scheme based on the moment preserving block truncation coding (MPBTC) scheme is proposed. In this scheme, three techniques are employed to cut down the bit rate of moment preserving block truncation coding. They are the two-dimensional prediction technique, the bit map omission technique, and the bit map coding using edge patterns. According to the exper...

فشرده‌سازی تصویر با کمک حذف و کدگذاری هوشمندانه اطلاعات تصویر و بازسازی آن با استفاده از الگوریتم های ترمیم تصویر

Compression can be done by lossy or lossless methods. The lossy methods have been used more widely than the lossless compression. Although, many methods for image compression have been proposed yet, the methods using intelligent skipping proper to the visual models has not been considered in the literature. Image inpainting refers to the application of sophisticated algorithms to replace lost o...
