Lossy Compression of Partially Masked Still Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Books and magazines often contain pages containing audacious mixtures of color images and text Our problem consists in coding the background colors of a such documents without wasting bits on background pixels that will be masked by foreground text This paper presents a numerical method for achieving such a result This wavelet technique described in this paper signi cantly reduces the compressed le sizes It can handle arbitrarily complex masks with reasonable computational requirements This direct method does not require the prior computation of a mask dependent wavelet basis

ON A LOSSY IMAGE COMPRESSION/RECONSTRUCTION METHOD BASED ON FUZZY RELATIONAL EQUATIONS
The pioneer work of image compression/reconstruction based onfuzzy relational equations (ICF) and the related works are introduced. TheICF regards an original image as a fuzzy relation by embedding the brightnesslevel into [0,1]. The compression/reconstruction of ICF correspond to thecomposition/solving inverse problem formulated on fuzzy relational equations.Optimizations of ICF can be consequ...
متن کاملA Novel Secure Image Coding Scheme Using Fractal Transformation
Lossy image coding by partitioned iterated function systems (PIFS), popularly known as fractal image compression, has recently become an active area of research. In this technique an image is encoded as a set of contractive transformations which represent the image compactly and produce an approximation to the original image. In this paper, we present a new application of fractal image compress...

We also show examples of their potential applications, including lossy image ...
متن کاملLossy Source Coding - Information Theory, IEEE Transactions on
Lossy coding of speech, high-quality audio, still images, and video is commonplace today. However, in 1948, few lossy compression systems were in service. Shannon introduced and developed the theory of source coding with a fidelity criterion, also called rate-distortion theory. For the first 25 years of its existence, rate-distortion theory had relatively little impact on the methods and system...
متن کاملHigh-Performance Compression of Visual Information—A Tutorial Review— Part I: Still Pictures
Digital images have become an important source of information in the modern world of communication systems. In their raw form, digital images require a tremendous amount of memory. Many research efforts have been devoted to the problem of image compression in the last two decades. Two different compression categories must be distinguished: lossless and lossy. Lossless compression is achieved if...
