چکیده

EZW (Embedded Zerotree Wavelets) coding algorithm has not only high compression rate but also some new features such as progressive coding/decoding, low computational complexity, etc. Based on EZW, many improved algorithms have been developed in recent years. SPIHT (Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) is an outstanding one among them. Statistical experiments show that some directional and positional dependencies still exist between significant coefficients in each subband. Based on this structural characteristic, this paper incorporated RLC(Run-length Coding) into SPIHT and proposed a new scanning scheme to cluster significant coefficients’ 1-D distribution, which reduced coefficients’ such structural redundancy to the largest extent. Theoretic analysis and experiments indicate: after introducing RLC into SPIHT, not only is the low computational complexity preserved, but also increases the PSNR up to 2 dB at very high compression ratios, and the average improvement is about 0.1dB at 0.3-0.7bpp for standard test images used. The visual quality of reconstructed images is also significantly improved.

A Modified Run-Length Coding towards the Realization of a RRO-NRDPWT-Based ECG Data Compression System

The wavelet-based approach that combines a reversible round-off nonrecursive discrete periodized wavelet transform (RRONRDPWT) and the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) scheme is an efficient ECG data compression. However, this RRO-NRDPWT-based system suffers from the high complexity of the SPIHT scheme during realization. In this paper, a modified run-length coding (MRLC) algorith...

Intelligent scalable image watermarking robust against progressive DWT-based compression using genetic algorithms

Image watermarking refers to the process of embedding an authentication message, called watermark, into the host image to uniquely identify the ownership. In this paper a novel, intelligent, scalable, robust wavelet-based watermarking approach is proposed. The proposed approach employs a genetic algorithm to find nearly optimal positions to insert watermark. The embedding positions coded as chr...
