Multiple Description Wavelet-Based Image Coding Using Iterated Function System

Multiple-Description Wavelet based Image Coding

We consider the problem of coding images for transmission over error-prone channels. The impairments we target are transient channel shutdowns, as would occur in a packet network when a packet is lost, or in a wireless system during a deep fade: when data is delivered it is assumed to be error-free, but some of the data may never reach the receiver. The proposed algorithms are based on a combin...

A multiple description method for wavelet based image coding

We propose a new multiple description method for wavelet transform coded images. The partitioning of the coefficients at the encoder is combined with concealment at the decoder to produce descriptions. An optimal concealment method for wavelet coefficients is derived based on statistical characteristics. Concealment in LL subband is treated differently and is based on its smoothness property. W...

Downsampling-based multiple description image coding using optimal filtering

bstract. In this paper, a multiple description image coding cheme is proposed to facilitate the transmission of images over edia with possible packet loss. The proposed method is based on nding the optimal reconstruction filter coefficients that will be used o reconstruct lost descriptions. For this purpose initially, the original mage is downsampled and each subimage is coded using standard PE...

Attractor image coding using lapped partitioned iterated function systems

The usual attractor coding technique is to partition a given image into a number of non-overlapping range blocks. Each block of the partition is expressed as the contractive transformation of another part of the image. However, the non-overlapping partitioning induces blocking artifacts which is highly disturbing to human visual system. In this work, a novel coding scheme using iterated functio...
