Fast Progressive Wavelet Coding
نویسنده
چکیده
Fast and efficient image compression can be achieved with the progressive wavelet coder (PWC) introduced in this paper. Unlike many previous wavelet coders, PWC does not rely on zerotrees or other ordering schemes based on parent-child wavelet relationships. PWC has a very simple structure, based on two key concepts: (1) data-independent reordering and blocking, and (2) lowcomplexity independent encoding of each block via adaptive Rice coding of bit planes. In that way, PWC allows for progressive image encoding that is scalable both in resolution and bit rate, with a fully embedded bitstream. PWC achieves a rate vs. distortion performance that is comparable to that of the state-of-the-art SPIHT (set partitioning in hierarchical trees) coder, but with a better performance/complexity ratio.

متن کاملFast Progressive Image Coding without Wavelets
We introduce a new image compression algorithm that allows progressive image reconstruction – both in resolution and in fidelity, with a fully embedded bitstream. The algorithm is based on bit-plane entropy coding of reordered transform coefficients, similar to the progressive wavelet codec (PWC) previously introduced. Unlike PWC, however, our new progressive transform coder (PTC) does not use ...
متن کاملUse of Wavelets in Fractal Compression Algorithm for Enhanced Performance
Fractal coding suffered from low coding efficiency, difficulties to obtain high quality encoding of images, and blocking artifacts at low bit rates and exhaustive inherent coding time. Blocking artifacts can be avoided if fractal coding is performed in the wavelet domain. A new fast and efficient image coder is developed that applies the speed of the wavelet transform to the image quality of th...
متن کاملWavelet Lossy and Lossless Image Compression Techniques - Use of the Lifting Scheme
Lossless compression schemes with progressive transmission capability play a key role in critical data storage, retrieval and transmission, when a large volume of data must be handled fast, without distortions, over large networks with limited bandwidth. The standard wavelet compression techniques, even if loss-less in principle, do not reconstruct exactly the original image because of the roun...
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...
