Bit rate and blocking artifact reduction by iterative pre-distortion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Block transform coding is widely used in image and video compression methods. Due to quantization error, there are blocking artifacts in the decoded image. This paper presents a pre-processing method, called pre-distortion, to reduce both the bitrate and blocking artifacts. The proposed algorithm is an iterative algorithm which reduces the blocking artifacts of the decoded image by introducing distortion intentionally in the encoding process. Simulation shows that, with pre-distortion, additional compression can be achieved with slight degradation in visual quality. Moreover, the blocking artifacts of the decoded image are reduced.

Artifact reduction techniques in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging modality
Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and became more common based on its low cost, fast image procedure rate and low radiation dose compared to CT. This imaging modality improved diagnostic and treatment-planning procedures by providing three-dimensional information with greatly reduced level of radiation dose compared to 2D dental imaging modalitie...
متن کاملImage Enhancement for Low Bit-rate JPEG and MPEG Coding via Postprocessing
JPEG and MPEG compression standards are based on block discrete cosine transform (BDCT) and, when the bit rate becomes low, visually annoying blocking artifacts appear in decompressed images and videos. In this work, we attempt to characterize and quantify the blocking artifact, and then propose an iterative method for its removal by using block classi cation and space-frequency ltering. The pr...
متن کاملReal Time Transcoding using Fast Requantization Codebook for Vector Quantization
Requantization of pre-compressed multimedia is a popular method for reducing the bit rate of a previously compressed data. The need for bit-rate reduction of the data stream, known as transcoding, requires adjustment of the transmission of bit-rate according to the bandwidth of the available channels. This introduces distortion of the reconstructed data. For real time applications the transcodi...
