Direct Feature Extraction from Compressed Images

چکیده
This paper examines the issue of direct extraction of low level features from compressed images. Specifically, we consider the detection of areas of interest and edges in images compressed using the discrete cosine transform (DCT). For interest areas, we show how a measure based on certain DCT coefficients of a block can provide an indication of underlying activity. For edges, we show using an ideal edge model how the relative values of different DCT coefficients of a block can be used to estimate the strength and orientation of an edge. Our experimental results indicate that coarse edge information from compressed images can be extracted up to 20 times faster than conventional edge detectors.

Direct Processing of Document Images in Compressed Domain
With the rapid increase in the volume of Big data of this digital era, fax documents, invoices, receipts, etc are traditionally subjected to compression for the efficiency of data storage and transfer. However, in order to process these documents, they need to undergo the stage of decompression which indents additional computing resources. This limitation induces the motivation to research on t...
متن کاملRetrieving digital images from a JPEG compressed image database
In this paper, we propose a new method of feature extraction in order to improve the efficiency of retrieving Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) compressed images. Our feature extraction can be done directly to JPEG compressed images. We extract two features, DC feature and AC feature, from a JPEG compressed image. Then we measure the distances between the query image and the images in a d...

متن کاملContourlet-Based Edge Extraction for Image Registration
Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. In general, the majority of registration methods consist of the following four steps: feature extraction, feature matching, transform modeling, and finally image resampling. As the accuracy of a registration process is highly dependent to the fe...
