چکیده

In this work, we propose a hybrid vector quantization scheme for general images that aims at exploiting similarities among detail signals in a multiresolution decomposition of the image. In a multiresolution decomposition, the image is decomposed into a set of subbands which are localized in scale, orientation and space. Our coding scheme consists of dividing each subimage of the multiresolution decomposition into square range blocks. The range blocks are matched against domain blocks chosen in the lower resolution subimage with the same orientation, and coded through a description of the map transforming the domain block into the range block. The pool of of domain blocks acts as a codebook for the range block, as in vector quantization, with the diierence that the codebook is built from blocks inside the multires-olution decomposition. If the prediction procedure is not satisfactory with respect to a target quality, the block is coded using a geometric vector quantizer for laplacian random variables.

Image coding by block prediction of multiresolution subimages

The redundancy of the multiresolution representation has been clearly demonstrated in the case of fractal images, but it has not been fully recognized and exploited for general images. Fractal block coders have exploited the self-similarity among blocks in images. We devise an image coder in which the causal similarity among blocks of different subbands in a multiresolution decomposition of the...

Hybrid Image Compression Using Fractal-Wavelet Prediction

Based on the standard fractal transformation in the spatial domain, simple relations may be found relating coefficients in detail(high-pass) subbands in the wavelet domain. In this paper, we devise a hybrid image compression using fractal-wavelet prediction where the causal similarity among blocks of different subbands in a wavelet decomposition of the image is exploited. The proposed coding sc...

Coding Gain of Intra/Inter-frame Subband Systems

Typical image sequence coders use motion compensation techniques in connection to coding of the motion compensated difference images (interframe coding). Moreover, the difference loop iis initialized from time to time by intraframe coding of images. It is therefore important to have a procedure that allows to evaluate the performance of a particular coding scheme: coding gain and rate-distortio...

Efficient Coding of the Classification Table in Low Bit Rate Subband Image Coding by Use of Hierarchical Enumeration

A new method for lossless coding of the classiication table in low bit rate subband image coders with block-wise classiication is proposed. The method is referred to as hierarchical enumeration and uses an algorithmic enumeration technique to associate a xed-length unique binary code-word with each possible combination of integers deening the classiication table. The resulting bit rate is less ...

Combining Image-Processing and Image Compression Schemes

An investigation into the combining of image-processing schemes, specifically an image enhancement scheme, with existing compression schemes is discussed. Results are presented on the pyramid coding scheme, the subband coding scheme, and progressive transmission. Encouraging results are demonstrated for the combination of image enhancement and pyramid image coding schemes, especially at low bit...
