Opponent Color, Human Vision and Wavelets for Image Compression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern image compression codecs produce embedded bitstreams with optimal rate-distortion properties. For natural imagery the distortion measure should by extended by a model of human color vision. The choice of the color space becomes here crucial since it has to be optimal in terms of compressibility and in terms of its visual distortion prediction properties. For three alternative color spaces, incorporated into a wavelet-codec (JPEG 2000), the quality-equivalent compression ratios are determined by subjective testing. For each color space the contrast sensitivity is measured and incorporated. Finally objectively measurable signal properties are aligned to the results to understand better the observed performance.

Compression of color images with wavelets under consideration of the HVS
In this paper we present a new wavelet-based coding scheme for the compression of color images at compression ratios up to 100:1. It is originally based on the LZC algorithm of Taubman. The main point of discussion in this paper is the color space used and the combination of a coding scheme with a model of human color vision. We describe two approaches: one is based on the pattern-color separab...
متن کاملApplication of Wavelets to Color Spectra
In this paper, Daubechies orthogonal wavelets are used to compress color spectra. Color spectra have many forms from sharp peaks to constant value. Compression is needed to save space in storing and bandwidth in transmission of spectra. The underlying idea of this paper is to nd suitable wavelets for compression. Quality of compression and reconstruction is measured with color diierence E from ...
متن کاملA multiscale representation including opponent color features for texture recognition
We introduce a representation for color texture using unichrome and opponent features computed from Gabor filter outputs. The unichrome features are computed from the spectral bands independently while the opponent features combine information across different spectral bands at different scales. Opponent features are motivated by color opponent mechanisms in human vision. We present a method fo...
متن کاملIntegration of Human Color Vision Models into High Quality Image Compression
Strong academic and commercial interest in image compression has resulted in a number of sophisticated compression techniques. Some of these techniques have evolved into international standards such as JPEG. However, the widespread success of JPEG has slowed the rate of innovation in such standards. Even most recent techniques, such as those proposed in the JPEG2000 standard, do not show signif...
متن کاملOpponent Color Processing Based on Neural Models
In this paper we present a new opponent color system which imitates some of the known color processing neural cells established by electrophysiological recordings. We describe the benefits of this system to image processing tasks. The opponent color model is embedded in an active vision system to improve the systems fixation and recognition capabilities. This is done by removing illumination ef...
