Image compression using orthogonalized independent components bases
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we address the orthogonalization of independent component analysis (ICA) to obtain transform-based image coders. We consider several classes of training images, from which we extract the independent components, followed by orthogonalization, obtaining bases for image coding. Experimental tests show the generalization ability of ICA of natural images, and the adaptation ability to speci c classes. The proposed xed size block coders have lower transform complexity than JPEG. They outperform JPEG, on several classes of images, for a given range of compression ratios, according to both standard (SNR) and perceptual (picture quality scale { PQS) measures. For some image classes, the visual quality of the images obtained with our coders is similar to that obtained by JPEG2000, which is currently the state of the art still image coder. On ngerprint images, our xed and variable size block coders perform competitively with the special-purpose wavelet-based coder developed by the FBI.

Independent components of natural images under variable compression rate
A generalized ICA model allowing overcomplete bases and additive noises in the observables is applied to natural image data. It is well known that such a model produces independent components that resemble simple cells in primary visual cortex or Gabor functions. We adopt a variable-sparsity density on each independent component, given by the mixture of a delta function and a standard Gaussian ...
متن کاملSpatio-chromatic decorrelation for color image compression
We investigate the implications of a unified spatio-chromatic basis for image compression and reconstruction. Different adaptive and general methods (PCA, ICA, and DCT) are applied to generate bases. While typically such bases with spatial extent are investigated in terms of their correspondence to human visual perception, we are interested in their applicability to multimedia encoding. The per...
متن کاملLearning Sparse Image Codes using a Wavelet Pyramid Architecture
We show how a wavelet basis may be adapted to best represent natural images in terms of sparse coefficients. The wavelet basis, which may be either complete or overcomplete, is specified by a small number of spatial functions which are repeated across space and combined in a recursive fashion so as to be self-similar across scale. These functions are adapted to minimize the estimated code lengt...
متن کاملNoise-robust Automatic Speech Re Orthogonalized Distinctive Phoneti
With the aim of using an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system in practical environments, various approaches focused on noise-robustness such as noise adaptation and reduction techniques have been investigated. We have previously proposed a distinctive phonetic feature (DPF) parameter set for a noise-robust ASR system, which reduced the effect of high-level additive noise[1]. This paper des...
متن کاملClass-adapted image compression using independent component analysis
This paper exploits independent component analysis (ICA) to obtain transform-based compression schemes adapted to specific image classes. This adaptation results from the data-dependent nature of the ICA bases, learnt from training images. Several coder architectures are evaluated and compared, according to both standard (SNR) and perceptual (picture quality scale – PQS) criteria, on two classe...
