A Novel Idea for Further Bit Rate Reduction in BTC based Techniques for Image Compression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Block Truncation Coding (BTC) is a simple and fast lossy image compression technique for digitized gray scale images. In this paper, a novel idea for further reducing the bit rate is introduced. The BTC and its two other variants, one being the Absolute Moment Block Truncation Coding (AMBTC) are discussed and the proposed idea is incorporated in all the three methods. A bitrate of 2 bpp is achieved in the existing techniques. With the proposed method, a further reduction of .25 bpp is achieved. The results of the proposed method are compared with that of the normal Block Truncation Coding methods. The proposed idea works better in terms of both the PSNR and the bpp. Index Terms — Block Truncation Coding, PSNR, bit-rate, compression, storage, transmission

Low Computational Image Compression Scheme based on Absolute Moment Block Truncation Coding
In this paper we have proposed three and two stage still gray scale image compressor based on BTC. In our schemes, we have employed a combination of four techniques to reduce the bit rate. They are quad tree segmentation, bit plane omission, bit plane coding using 32 visual patterns and interpolative bit plane coding. The experimental results show that the proposed schemes achieve an average bi...
متن کاملPlanelet Transform: A New Geometrical Wavelet for Compression of Kinect-like Depth Images
With the advent of cheap indoor RGB-D sensors, proper representation of piecewise planar depth images is crucial toward an effective compression method. Although there exist geometrical wavelets for optimal representation of piecewise constant and piecewise linear images (i.e. wedgelets and platelets), an adaptation to piecewise linear fractional functions which correspond to depth variation ov...

The Block Truncation Coding (BTC) is one of the lossy image compression algorithms. In this paper, we have proposed a method called the Improved Adaptive Block Truncation Coding (IABTC) based on Adaptive Block Truncation Coding (ABTC). The feature of inter-pixel redundancy is exploited to reduce the bit-rate further by retaining the quality of the reconstructed images. The proposed method outpe...
متن کاملA Compression Algorithm Based on Classified Interpolative Block Truncation Coding and Vector Quantization
Block truncation coding (BTC) [1] is an efficient image coding method that has been adopted to obtain the statistical properties of a block in image compression. Low computational complexity and superior channel error resisting ability make it attractive in real-time image compression. The BTC output data set includes a binary bit plane, which defines the quantization level of each pixel, and t...
متن کاملBlock truncation coding with entropy coding
Block Truncation Coding (BTC) is a simple and fast image compression algorithm wich achieves constant bit rate of 2.0 bits per pixel. The method is however suboptimal. In the present paper we propose a modification of BTC in which the compression ratio will be improved by coding the quantization data and the bit plane by arithmetic coding with an adaptive modelling scheme. The results compare f...
