The Improvement of an Image Compression Approach Using Weber-Fechner Law
نویسندگان
چکیده
The idea behind image compression is the reduction of the average number of bits per pixel needed for its representation. Indeed, our study of still image compression is based on the non-conservative compression method. This means that the reconstructed image, after a compression/decompression cycle, will be different from the original one. In fact, such a difference brings about a degradation of the original image. In the first part of still image compression, we suggest a chain composed of a discrete wavelet transform followed by neural-networks quantization and a binary encoder. In this paper, we improve the quality of compression by adding a pretreatment phase through the use of the principle of Weber-Fechner law which considers the human-eye sensitivity to luminance as a logarithmic function.

Proposing an effective approach for Network security and multimedia documents classically using encryption and watermarking
Local binary pattern (LBP) operators, which measure the local contrast within a pixel's neighborhood, successfully applied to texture analysis, visual inspection, and image retrieval. In this paper, we recommend a semi blind and informed watermarking approach. The watermark has been built from the original image using Weber Law. The approach aims is to present a high robustness and imperceptibi...

This paper presents an improvement of the Visual Pattern image coding (VPIC) scheme presented by Chen and Bovik in [2] and [3]. The patterns in this improved scheme are defined by morphological operations and classified by absolute error minimization. The improved scheme identifies more uniform blocks and reduces the noise effect. Therefore, it improves the compression ratio and image quality i...

Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...
متن کاملIntelligent scalable image watermarking robust against progressive DWT-based compression using genetic algorithms
Image watermarking refers to the process of embedding an authentication message, called watermark, into the host image to uniquely identify the ownership. In this paper a novel, intelligent, scalable, robust wavelet-based watermarking approach is proposed. The proposed approach employs a genetic algorithm to find nearly optimal positions to insert watermark. The embedding positions coded as chr...
متن کاملA framework for Bayesian optimality of psychophysical laws
TheWeber–Fechner law states that perceived intensity is proportional to physical stimuli on a logarithmic scale. In this work, we formulate a Bayesian framework for the scaling of perception and find logarithmic and related scalings are optimal under expected relative error fidelity. Therefore, the Weber–Fechner law arises as being information theoretically efficient under the constraint of lim...
