Vector quantisation based image enhancement

چکیده
We present a new algorithm for rescaling images inspired by fractal coding. It uses a statistical model of the relationship between detail at different scales of the image to interpolate detail at one octave above the highest spatial frequency in the original image. We compare it with Bspline and bilinear interpolation techniques and show that it yields a sharper looking rescaled image.

Image Enhancement Using Vector Quantisation Based Interpolation
We present a novel method of image expansion using vector quantisation. The algorithm is inspired by fractal coding and uses a statistical model of the relationship between details at different scales of the image to interpolate detail at one octave above the highest spatial frequency in the original image. Our method aims at overcoming the drawbacks associated with traditional approaches such ...
متن کاملColour and Positional Quantisation for Content-Based Image Retrieval
Colour-based retrieval is one of the major content-based retrieval techniques. The main idea used for colour based retrieval techniques is to store the image in terms of a colour map which has a nite set of colour bins. An eecient retrieval scheme should preserve all the distinct colours of an image with a small number of colour bins. Uniform Quantisation is one of the major quantisation techni...
متن کاملColour image retrieval based on DCT-domain vector quantisation index histograms
A new kind of feature for colour image retrieval based on DCT-domain vector quantisation (VQ) index histograms (DCTVQIH) is proposed. For each colour image in the database, 12 histograms (four for each colour component) are calculated from 12 DCT-VQ index sequences, respectively. The retrieval simulation results show that, compared with the traditional spatial-domain colour-histogram-based feat...
متن کاملScalable image coding using Gaussian pyramid vector quantisation with resolution-independent block size
We present a new approach to multiresolution vector quantisation. Its main advantage is exploitation of long-range correlations in the image by keeping vector size constant, independent of the image scale. We also developed a variable block-rate version of the algorithm, which allows better utilisation of the available bit budget by re ning only those areas of the image which are not e ciently ...
متن کاملRobust image and video coding with pyramid vector quantisation
Most current image and video coding standards use variable length codes to achieve compression, which renders the compressed bitstream very sensitive to channel errors. In this paper, image and video coders based on Pyramid Vector Quantisation (PVQ) and using only fixed length codes are proposed. Still image coders using PVQ in conjunction with DCT and wavelet techniques are described and their...
