Post-Processing for Low Bit-Rate Wavelet-Based Image Coding Using Multiscale Edge Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new postprocessing method for low bit-rate wavelet-based image coding which uses the technique of wavelet modulus maximum representation (WMMR). The edge degradation from wavelet-based coding is discussed under the overcomplete wavelet expansion, and interpreted as the distortion of wavelet modulus maxima, i.e., magnitude decays. Based on the empirical analysis and experimental results, we develop a set of compensation functions to restore the distorted wavelet modulus maxima of a coded image. Therefore, we can enhance the image quality for low bit-rate wavelet coding by reconstructing the coded image using the WMMR with improved visual quality and image fidelity (peak signal-to-noise ratio).

متن کاملModel-based edge reconstruction for low bit-rate wavelet-based image coding
Low bit-rate image coding brings about obvious degradation to the compressed images, among which distortions at edges are particular objectionable. In this paper, a model-based edge reconstruction algorithm is proposed for wavelet-based image coding at low bitrate. Our approach applies a general model to represent varieties of edges existing in an image. Based on this model, the problem of edge...
متن کاملModel-based edge reconstruction for low bit-rate wavelet-compressed images
At low bit rates, wavelet-based image coding is superior to most traditional block-based methods in terms of visibility and severity of coding artifacts in coded images. However, the compressed images still suffer from obvious distortions around sharp edges, which are perceptually objectionable. In order to improve image quality for low bit-rate wavelet-based image coding, we proposed a model-b...
متن کاملDeblocking 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 ...
متن کاملLow Bit Rate Image Coding in the Scale Space
Scale-space representation has been extensively studied in the computer vision community for analyzing image structures at di erent scales. This paper borrows and develops useful mathematical tools from scale-space theory to facilitate the task of image compression. Instead of compressing the original image directly, we propose to compress its scale-space representation obtained by the forward ...
