Low bitrate image compression using self-organized Kohonen maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new image compression algorithm based on Kohonen self-organized maps. The compression is based on vector quantization (VQ) of the DCT coefficients of image blocks, where the VQ is implemented by a Kohonen network. At low bitrates, our proposed method performs better than an earlier compression scheme developed by Amerijckx et al. [1] and shows better subjective results in comparison to JPEG.

Artificial Neural Networks for Compression of Digital Images: a Review Venkata
Digital images require large amounts of memory for storage. Thus, the transmission of an image from one computer to another can be very time consuming. By using data compression techniques, it is possible to remove some of the redundant information contained in images, requiring less storage space and less time to transmit. Artificial Neural networks can be used for the purpose of image compres...
متن کاملCompression of Medical Images using Improved Kohonen Algorithm
Nowadays, neural networks are largely used in signal processing and images. In particular, Kohonen networks or Self Organizing Maps are unsupervised learning models. This method performs a vector quantization (VQ) on the values obtained after processing. The vector quantization has a potential to give more data compression maintaining the same quality. In this paper we propose new scheme to ima...
متن کاملImage compression by self-organized Kohonen map
This paper presents a compression scheme for digital still images, by using the Kohonen's neural network algorithm, not only for its vector quantization feature, but also for its topological property. This property allows an increase of about 80% for the compression rate. Compared to the JPEG standard, this compression scheme shows better performances (in terms of PSNR) for compression rates hi...
