PGF - A New Progressive File Format for Lossy and Lossless Image Compression
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new image file format, called Progressive Graphics File (PGF), which is based on a discrete wavelet transform with progressive coding features. We show all steps of a transform based coder in detail and discuss some important aspects of our careful implementation. PGF can be used for lossless and lossy compression. It performs best for natural images and aerial ortho-photos. For these types of images it shows in its lossy compression mode a better compression efficiency than JPEG. This efficiency gain is almost for free, because the encoding and decoding times are only marginally longer. We also compare PGF with JPEG 2000 and show that JPEG 2000 is about ten times slower than PGF. In its lossless compression mode PGF has a slightly worse compression efficiency than JPEG 2000, but a clearly better compression efficiency than JPEG-LS and PNG. If both, compression efficiency and runtime, is important, then PGF is the best of the tested algorithms for compression of natural images and aerial photos.

Multispectral image compression for spectral and color reproduction based on lossy to lossless coding
In this paper we propose a multispectral image compression based on lossy to lossless coding, suitable for both spectral and color reproduction. The proposed method divides a multispectral image data into two groups, RGB and residual. The RGB component is extracted from the multispectral image, for example, by using the XYZ Color Matching Functions, a color conversion matrix, and a gamma curve....

Compression can be done by lossy or lossless methods. The lossy methods have been used more widely than the lossless compression. Although, many methods for image compression have been proposed yet, the methods using intelligent skipping proper to the visual models has not been considered in the literature. Image inpainting refers to the application of sophisticated algorithms to replace lost o...

As the applications of digital imagery expand in resolution and pixel fidelity there is a greater need for more efficient compression and extraction of images and subimages. No longer is it sufficient to compress and decompress an image for a specific target device. The ability to handle many types of image data, extract images at different resolutions and quality, lossless and lossy, zoom and ...

We present a new scalable compression technique dealing simultaneously with both lossy and lossless image coding. An original DPCM scheme with refined context is introduced through a pyramidal decomposition adapted to the LAR (Locally Adaptive Resolution) method, which becomes by this way fully progressive. An implicit context modeling of the prediction errors, due to the low resolution image r...

In this report, a digital image data compression method which has two modes – “losslesss” mode and “lossy” mode – and also “progressive” functionality is proposed. The coding system can be optimized for an arbitrary input image signal under the lossless / lossy unified coding gain introduced here.
