Multiple, arbitrary shape ROI coding with zerotree based wavelet coders

چکیده
Region-based video coding schemes employed in MPEG-4 is also promising for still image coding applications where images contain a number of objects that can be encoded at different bit rates, such as compression of medical images for archiving and tranmission. Motivated by this fact, in this paper we investigate multi-region and multi-quality (MRMQ) coding based on zerotree wavelet coders. We present a novel scheme which addresses the region size sensitivity problem in region-based coding. The proposed method outperforms the region of interest (ROI) coding unit of JPEG2000, i.e., it is possible to save 0.3 bits per pixel to attain the same ROI/background rate-distortion performance with the proposed MRMQ coding scheme.

Adaptive wavelet packet basis selection for zerotree image coding
Image coding methods based on adaptive wavelet transforms and those employing zerotree quantization have been shown to be successful. We present a general zerotree structure for an arbitrary wavelet packet geometry in an image coding framework. A fast basis selection algorithm is developed; it uses a Markov chain based cost estimate of encoding the image using this structure. As a result, our a...
متن کاملMulti-Region Multi-Quality Coding Schemes for Medical Image Compression
Region-based coding schemes, employed in JPEG-2000 and MPEG-4 standards, are promising for medical image compression. In most medical imaging applications, the diagnostically significant information is localized over multiple, arbitrary shape regions which require high quality coding and the rest of the image might be encoded with lower fidelity. Motivated by this fact, in this thesis, we inves...
متن کاملZerotree Wavelet Coding Using Fractal Prediction
Fractal image coding can be seen as spectral prediction of coefficients in the wavelet decomposition of an image. Fine scale coefficients are described by shifted and scaled coefficients from the next coarser frequency scale. We analyzed the ability of fractal coders to predict wavelet coefficients and found that the prediction of entire wavelet subtrees-as done by conventional spatial domain f...
متن کاملRegion of interest coding in volumetric images with shape-adaptive wavelet transform
We evaluated some arbitrary-shape ROI (Region of Interest) coding techniques for three-dimensional volumetric images, and through the observation we propose a flexible ROI coding with efficient compression performance. In arbitrary-shape ROI coding, the object in an image is coded with higher fidelity than the rest of the image, together with the shape information, which indicates the region of...
متن کاملA Generalization Of Zerotree Coding Algorithms
Despite the release of the JPEG-2000 standard, wavelet-based zerotree coders keep being object of intense research because of their conceptual simplicity and excellent performance. In this work we show that any zerotree coder can be described by specifying the involved data structures (typically, order-k zerotrees) and a very limited set of tree decomposition rules. This simple grammar allows o...
