Edge sensitive subband coding of images

چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a family of novel edge preserving image coding techniques based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). These techniques utilize the edge map (which not necessarily contains closed curves) of the processed image or its subbands in the way that no ltering over edges is performed. This results in a reduction of power in the higher frequency bands. The achievable savings are higher than the additional bit rate needed for transmission of the edge map.

Coding of Digital Video with the Edge-sensitive Discrete
this paper we present an image sequence coding scheme for very low bit rate coding which is based on spatial redundancy reduction via the new edge sensitive subband coding method and temporal redundancy reduction via windowed overlapped block-matching motion compensation. The scheme has the main advantage , that only the signiicant regions of diierence-images are coded. Thus the computational c...

متن کاملMultiple Description Coding with Edge-Adaptive Reconstruction
In this paper we present a framework for estimating corrupted coefficients in multiple description coding (MDC) of images. Descriptions are generated by partitioning the domain of wavelet coefficients into sets whose elements are maximally separated from each other. Consequently an edge-adaptive estimation algorithm is proposed to explore the local texture statistical characteristics for estima...
متن کاملSubband coding of images using vector quantization
Subband coding has proven to be a powerful technique for medium bandwidth source encoding of speech. Recently, some promising results have been reported on the extension of this concept to the source coding of images. In this paper, a new two-dimensional subband coding technique is presented which is also applied to images. A frequency band decomposition of the image is carried out by means of ...
متن کاملOrientation adaptive subband coding of images
In the subband coding of images, directionality of image features has thus far been exploited very little. The proposed subband coding scheme utilizes orientation of local image features to avoid the highly objectionable Gibbs-like phenomena observed at reconstructed image edges with conventional subband schemes at low bit rates, At comparable bit rates, the subjective image quality obtained by...
