Rate-distortion optimized image compression using wedgelets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most wavelet-based image coders fail to model the joint coherent behavior of wavelet coefficients near edges. Wedgelets offer a convenient parameterization for the edges in an image, but they have yet to yield a viable compression algorithm. In this paper, we propose an extension of the zerotree-based Space-Frequency Quantization (SFQ) algorithm by adding a wedgelet symbol to its tree-pruning optimization. This incorporates wedgelets into a ratedistortion compression framework and allows simple, coherent descriptions of the wavelet coefficients near edges. The resulting method yields improved visual quality and increased compression efficiency over the standard SFQ technique.

Planelet Transform: A New Geometrical Wavelet for Compression of Kinect-like Depth Images
With the advent of cheap indoor RGB-D sensors, proper representation of piecewise planar depth images is crucial toward an effective compression method. Although there exist geometrical wavelets for optimal representation of piecewise constant and piecewise linear images (i.e. wedgelets and platelets), an adaptation to piecewise linear fractional functions which correspond to depth variation ov...
متن کاملSmoothlets - Multiscale Functions for Adaptive Representation of Images
In this paper a special class of functions called smoothlets is presented. They are defined as a generalization of wedgelets and second-order wedgelets. Unlike all known geometrical methods used in adaptive image approximation, smoothlets are continuous functions. They can adapt to location, size, rotation, curvature, and smoothness of edges. The M-term approximation of smoothlets is O(M(-3)). ...
متن کاملRate-distortion Optimized Color Quantization for Compound Image Compression
In this paper, we present a new image compression scheme, which is specially designed for computer generated compound color images. First we classify the image content into two kinds: text/graphic content and picture content. Then a rate-distortion optimized color quantization algorithm is designed for text/graphic content, which introduces distortion to text content and minimizes the bit rate ...
متن کاملDocument compression using rate-distortion optimized segmentation
Effective document compression algorithms require that scanned document images be first segmented into regions such as text, pictures, and background. In this paper, we present a multilayer compression algorithm for document images. This compression algorithm first segments a scanned document image into different classes, then compresses each class using an algorithm specifically designed for t...
متن کاملEmbedded Wavelet Packet Image Coder with Fast Rate-Distortion Optimized Decomposition
A fast rate-distortion (R-D) optimized wavelet packet (WP) transform is proposed for image compression in this research. By analyzing the R-D performance of the quantizer and the entropy coder, we show that the coding distortion D can be modeled as an exponentially decaying function as the coding rate R increases. With this exponential R-D model, it is proved that the constant R-D slope criteri...
