Comparison of Wavelet Image Coders Using the PictureQuality Scale ( PQS )
نویسنده
چکیده
Image coding is one of the most visible applications of wavelets. There has been increasing number of reports each year since the late 1980's on the design of new wavelet coders and variations to existing ones. In this paper, we report some results from our comparative study of wavelet image coders using a perception-based, quantitative picture quality scale as the distortion measure. Coders are evaluated in rate-distortion sense; the innuences of diierent wavelets, quantizers, and encoders are assessed individually. Our results provide an insight into the design issues of optimizing wavelet coders, as well as a good reference for application developers to choose from an increasingly large family of wavelet coders for their applications.

Class-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...
متن کاملImage compression using orthogonalized independent components bases
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 ...
متن کاملStatistical Wavelet-based Image Denoising using Scale Mixture of Normal Distributions with Adaptive Parameter Estimation
Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...
متن کاملZerotree Wavelet Coding Using Fractal Prediction
Fractal image coding can be seen as spectral prediction of coefficients in the wavelet decomposition of an image. Fine scale coefficients are described by shifted and scaled coefficients from the next coarser frequency scale. We analyzed the ability of fractal coders to predict wavelet coefficients and found that the prediction of entire wavelet subtrees-as done by conventional spatial domain f...
متن کامل2D Image Compression Using Wavelet Compression Technique by Analysis
Compressing an image is significantly different than compressing raw binary data. Of course, general purpose compression programs can be used to compress images, but the result is less than optimal. The compression is achieved by many algorithms like Haar, EZW, JPEG2000 and SPIHT [4] and we can get some good results but more efficient algorithm is required which is necessary to improve the PSNR...
