Locmic: Low Complexity Multi-resolution Image Compression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image compression is a well-established and extensively researched field. The huge interest in it has been aroused by the rapid enhancements introduced in imaging techniques and the various applications that use high-resolution images (e.g. medical, astronomical, Internet applications). The image compression algorithms should not only give state-of-art performance, they should also provide other features and functionalities such as progressive transmission. Often, a rough approximation (thumbnail) of an image is sufficient for the user to decide whether to continue the image transmission or to abort; which accordingly helps to reduce time and bandwidth. That in turn necessitated the development of multi-resolution image compression schemes. The existed multi-resolution schemes (e.g., Multi-Level Progressive method) have shown high computational efficiency, but with a lack of the compression performance, in general. In this thesis, a LOw Complexity Multi-resolution Image Compression (LOCMIC) based on the Hierarchical INTerpolation (HINT) framework is presented. Moreover, a novel integration of the Just Noticeable Distortion (JND) for perceptual coding with the HINT framework to achieve a visual-lossless multi-resolution scheme has been proposed. In addition, various prediction formulas, a context-based prediction correction model and a multi-level Golomb parameter adaption approach have been investigated. The proposed LOCMIC (the lossless and the visual lossless) has contributed to the compression performance. The lossless LOCMIC has achieved a 3% reduced bit rate over LOCO-I, about 1% over JPEG2000, 3% over SPIHT, and 2% over CALIC.

Image Compression and Denoising Algorithm based on Multi-resolution Discrete Cosine Transform
Discrete cosine transform (DCT) and wavelet transform coding system are the most popular image compression methods. Although DCT has outstanding energy compaction properties, blocking artifacts impact its performance. Wavelet avoids blocking artifacts; it is also the most popular approach to doing image compression and denoising simultaneously. However wavelet has higher computational complexit...

The goal of multi-frame Super Resolution (SR) is to fuse multiple Low Resolution (LR) images to produce one High Resolution (HR) image. The major challenge of classic SR approaches is accurate motion estimation between the frames. To handle this challenge, fuzzy motion estimation method has been proposed that replaces value of each pixel using the weighted averaging all its neighboring pixels i...
