چکیده

The discrete wavelet transform has proven to be an effective technique for the compression of digital imagery at very low rates. This has lead to increasing interest in commercial, intemational, medical, and governmental arenas in the wide-spread use and standardization of this technology. As the popularity of wavelet based image compression systems grows, issues regarding the transmission of wavelet-compressed imagery must be addressed. The analysis, correction, and containment of bit errors in the transmission of wavelet-compressed imagery represents a challenging area of research. The focus of this paper is to investigate transmission error effects in an adaptive wavelet image coder that utilizes universal trellis-coded quantization (UTCQ) [I, 21 and adaptive arithmetic coding [3 51 to generate coded -5 -3 bitstrearns, and propose a re-initialization mechanism for error recovery. Bit error rates (BERs) in the 10 to 10 range are considered and the visual manifestations of bit errors in the reconstructed image are shown. The usage of a trellis quantizer complicates error containment since corrupted quantization indices may lead to loss of tracking of the trellis state and propagation of decoding error. Comparisons to NZTFS-JPEG, where restart intervals are mandated to minimize error propagation, are made.

Intelligent scalable image watermarking robust against progressive DWT-based compression using genetic algorithms

Image watermarking refers to the process of embedding an authentication message, called watermark, into the host image to uniquely identify the ownership. In this paper a novel, intelligent, scalable, robust wavelet-based watermarking approach is proposed. The proposed approach employs a genetic algorithm to find nearly optimal positions to insert watermark. The embedding positions coded as chr...

Deblocking Joint Photographic Experts Group Compressed Images via Self-learning Sparse Representation

JPEG is one of the most widely used image compression method, but it causes annoying blocking artifacts at low bit-rates. Sparse representation is an efficient technique which can solve many inverse problems in image processing applications such as denoising and deblocking. In this paper, a post-processing method is proposed for reducing JPEG blocking effects via sparse representation. In this ...

Search Based Weighted Multi-Bit Flipping Algorithm for High-Performance Low-Complexity Decoding of LDPC Codes

In this paper, two new hybrid algorithms are proposed for decoding Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes. Original version of the proposed algorithms named Search Based Weighted Multi Bit Flipping (SWMBF). The main idea of these algorithms is flipping variable multi bits in each iteration, change in which leads to the syndrome vector with least hamming weight. To achieve this, the proposed algo...

Design and Development of Compressed Image Transmission System Using Asymmetric Modulation (HQAM) Over Wireless Channels

Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) is an efficient wavelet-based progressive image-compression technique, designed to minimize the mean-squared error (MSE) between the original and decoded imagery. Since wireless channels suffer from significant bit error rates, some mechanism to protect the encoded image is required. Many error control solutions have been proposed to address the pr...
