چکیده

Multiresolution based coding schemes have received sig-niicant attention in the eld of image compression due to their advantages over standard block transform based coders. In this paper a novel multiresolution adaptive VQ (MRAVQ) still image codec is presented. A biorthogo-nal wavelet transform is applied on the input image to generate a number of subbands. The wavelet coeecients are coded using an adaptive VQ scheme combined with dynamic bit allocation based on marginal analysis. By taking into account the frequency response of the Human Visual System (HVS) in the design of the subband vector quantizers, the subjective quality of the reconstructed images is shown to be improved. A performance comparison with JPEG is presented.

Low Bit Rate Color Image Coding with Adaptive Encoding of Wavelet Co-efficients

Current trends in image coding exploit the advantage of subband / wavelet decompositions in reducing the complexity in optimal scalar / vector quantizer (SQ / VQ) design. Compression ratios of the order of 10: 1 to 20: 1 with high visual quality has been achieved by using vector quantization of subband decomposed color images in peceptually weighted color spaces. We report the performance of th...

Performance Analysis of Vector Quantization Based Lossy Image Compression

This paper presents a Lossy image compression technique which is combination of discrete wavelet transform (DWT), Thresholding, Vector Quantization (VQ) and Huffman coding. Proposed method is as follows, First, DWT is performed on the original image then Globle Thresholding technique is applied and resulting coefficients are then vector quantized. VQ indices are Huffman coded to increase the co...

Statistical Wavelet-based Image Denoising using Scale Mixture of Normal Distributions with Adaptive Parameter Estimation

Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...

1 Subband Image

This chapter presents an overview of subband/wavelet image compression. Shannon showed that optimality in compression can only be achieved with Vector Quantizers (VQ). There are practical diiculties associated with VQ, however, that motivate transform coding. In particular, reverse waterrll-ing arguments motivate subband coding. Using a simpliied model of a subband coder, we explore key design ...

Multispectral Image Coding using Lattice VQ and the Wavelet Transform

This paper examines the problem of compressing multispectral images using the wavelet transform and stack-run entropy coding. Our goal is to explore various ways of coding the wavelet coefficients in order to see which techniques can best exploit the correlation between the multispectral bands to produce an efficient coding algorithm. The results of our study indicate that applying the KLT to e...
