Choice of Wavelets for Image Compression
نویسندگان
چکیده
In wavelet-based image coding the choice of wavelets is crucial and determines the coding performance. Current techniques use computationally intensive search procedures to find the optimal basis (type, order and tree). In this paper, we show that searching for optimal wavelet does not always offer a substantial improvement in coding performance over "good" standard wavelets. We propose some guidelines for determining the need to search for the "optimal" wavelets based on the statistics of the image to be coded. In addition, we propose an adaptive wavelet packet decomposition algorithm based on the local transform gain of each stage of the decomposition. The proposed algorithm provides a good coding performance at a substantially reduced complexity.

Image Compression Method Based on QR-Wavelet Transformation
In this paper, a procedure is reported that discuss how linear algebra can be used in image compression. The basic idea is that each image can be represented as a matrix. We apply linear algebra (QR factorization and wavelet transformation algorithms) on this matrix and get a reduced matrix out such that the image corresponding to this reduced matrix requires much less storage space than th...

With the advent of cheap indoor RGB-D sensors, proper representation of piecewise planar depth images is crucial toward an effective compression method. Although there exist geometrical wavelets for optimal representation of piecewise constant and piecewise linear images (i.e. wedgelets and platelets), an adaptation to piecewise linear fractional functions which correspond to depth variation ov...

The objective of this paper is to evaluate a set of wavelets for image compression. Image compression using wavelet transforms results in an improved compression ratio. Wavelet transformation is the technique that provides both spatial and frequency domain information. These properties of wavelet transform greatly help in identification and selection of significant and non-significant coefficie...
متن کاملOptimal Wavelet Basis for Image Compression
Unlike Fourier basis which constitutes fixed sine and cosine waves; the Wavelet Transform has infinite basis functions. The choice of good basis is application dependent. Statistical parameters of the image are dynamic and differ from image to image. A moment vector of natural image will be different from the moment vector of synthetic image. Similarly the edges in natural image have structural...
