Wavelet-Based Image Coder with Entropy- Constrained Lattice Vector Quantizer (ECLVQ)

چکیده
This paper presents an algorithm that jointly optimizes a lattice vector quantizer (LVQ) and an entropy coder in a subband coding at all ranges of bit rate. Estimation formulas for both entropy and distortion of lattice quantized subband images are derived. From these estimates, we then develop dynamic algorithm optimizing the LVQ and entropy coder together for a given entropy rate. Compared to previously reported min–max approaches, or approaches using asymptotic distortion bounds, the approach reported here quickly designs a highly accurate optimal entropy-constrained LVQ. The corresponding waveletbased image coder also has better coding performance compared to other subband coders that use entropy-constrained LVQ, especially at low bit rates.

Joint thresholding and quantizer selection for transform image coding: entropy-constrained analysis and applications to baseline JPEG
Striving to maximize baseline (Joint Photographers Expert Group-JPEG) image quality without compromising compatibility of current JPEG decoders, we develop an image-adaptive JPEG encoding algorithm that jointly optimizes quantizer selection, coefficient "thresholding", and Huffman coding within a rate-distortion (R-D) framework. Practically speaking, our algorithm unifies two previous approache...

A fixed-rate lattice vector quantizer for generalized Gaussian (GG) sources is presented. By using the contour of counstant probability of a generalized Gaussian source to bound the integer lattice, this vector quantizer in the limit of high dimension achieves optimal boundary gains for GG sources. Low-complexity techniques for rate control, optimal codevector search and enumeration are develop...
متن کاملHigh Order Entropy-Constrained Residual VQ for Lossless Compression of Images
-High order entropy coding is a powerful technique for exploiting high order statistical dependencies. However, the exponentially high complexity associated with such a method often discourages its use. In this paper, an entropy-constralned residual vector quantization method is proposed for lossless compression of images. The method consists of first quantizing the input image using a high ord...
متن کاملConditional entropy-constrained residual VQ with application to image coding
This paper introduces an extension of entropy constrained residual vector quantization (VQ) where intervector dependencies are exploited. The method, which we call conditional entropy-constrained residual VQ, employs a high-order entropy conditioning strategy that captures local information in the neighboring vectors. When applied to coding images, the proposed method is shown to achieve better...
