Fractal (self-vq) Encoding of Video Sequences
نویسنده
چکیده
We present results of a scheme to encode video sequences of digital image data based on a quadtree still-image fractal method. The scheme encodes each frame using image pieces, or vectors, from its predecessor; hence it can be thought of as a VQ scheme in which the code book is derived from the previous image. We present results showing: near real-time (5 { 12 frames/sec) software-only decoding; resolution independence; high compression ratios (25 { 244:1); and low compression times (2.4 { 66 sec/frame) as compared with standard xed image fractal schemes. More information on various fractal schemes can be found at the WWW site

Asthma in Iranian Schoolchildren: Comparison of ISAAC Video and Written Questionnaires
Background: The international study of asthma and allergies in childhood (ISAAC) is used to define the prevalence and severity of asthma in different regions. In this study we followed the performance of the ISAAC video and written questionnaires (VQ and WQ) to classify asthma in 13-14 yr-old schoolchildren. Methods: The present study was carried out on 3540 schoolchildren 13 to 14-yrs-old us...
متن کاملVq-based Bayesian Estimation for Blur Identification and Image Selection in Video Sequences
We address the problem of blur identification and image selection with statistical blur priors in the context of the vector quantization (VQ) based framework. Firstly, we assume some dominant blur priors for estimating point spread functions (PSFs) of blurred frames in Bayesian MAP estimation. The blurred frames with estimated PSFs can be stored in VQ-based multiple codebooks. These codebooks c...
متن کاملVq - Enhanced Fractal Image
A novel hybrid scheme combining fractal image compression with mean-removed shape-gain vector quantization is presented. The scheme uses a small set of VQ codebook blocks as a block classiier for the domain blocks and as an alternative means of coding when able to provide a satisfying distortion. Our scheme is shown to improve the performance of conventional fractal coding in all its aspects. T...

متن کاملA fast encoding method without search for fractal image compression
A fast coding algorithm for images using vector quantization (VQ) and pixelwise fractal approximation is proposed. The low frequency component of an input image is approximated and its residual is used to calculate the scaling factor of fractal transform. The scaling factor is compressed by transform VQ (TVQ). In the proposed method, lo encode a digital image by an iterated function system (IFS...
