Synthetic Image Sequence Compression

چکیده

This paper describes a technique for compressing computer screen shots into a GIF animation file. The goal is to distribute the animations, to a variety of browsers, without requiring a plug-in or helper application. We seek to minimize the size of the image sequence, while maximizing the signal to noise ratio of the sequence. The GIF animation format has several constraints; images may have a maximum of 256 colors, and the images must all be of the same size. Further, to minimize overhead, we seek to make use of a single color lookup table for the entire animation. Several color quantization algorithms are compared, using SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) as the metric of quality (as well as subjective appearance). We present the design of an interface, written in Java, and distributed freely using Java Web Start, that employs a well know neural network program and a color quantization algorithm to capture screen shots and save them to the GIF animation. GIF animations represent silent movies, as they have no sound to accompany them. However, they are still in wide use and have applications in entertainment and education. The techniques described are a part of the JSnap project, a joint project between the skunk works of DocJava, Inc. and Fairfield University.

Synthetic Animation Compression using Model-Based Approach

Traditional approach to performing motion estimation on video is to find the frame-to-frame coherence in the image sequence. In a synthetic animation video sequence, we can take advantage of information used in rendering the animation to guide the motion estimation in order to achieve effective compression. In this proposal, we discuss potential solutions towards the problem as future research ...

Planelet Transform: A New Geometrical Wavelet for Compression of Kinect-like Depth Images

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...

Implementation of VlSI Based Image Compression Approach on Reconfigurable Computing System - A Survey

Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...

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...
