چکیده

We propose a level-successive encoding scheme for the compression of continuous tone images. The compressed bit stream is partitioned into individual segments corresponding to successive bits and arranged in order of decreasing significance of the bits. Bit-plane scalability is achieved by recursively partitioning the image into an LSB bit-plane and remaining higher order bits and encoding the LSB bit-plane using the remaining bits as context. This allows the scheme to achieve excellent compression performance by exploiting both spatial and inter-level correlations. We compare the proposed scheme with a number of scalable and non-scalable lossless image compression algorithms to benchmark its performance. Results indicate that the level-embedded compression incurs only a small penalty in compression efficiency over conventional lossless schemes while offering the benefit of easy bit-plane scalability.

A simplified HDR image processing pipeline for digital photography

High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging has revolutionized the digital imaging. It allows capture, storage, manipulation, and display of full dynamic range of the captured scene. As a result, it has spawned whole new possibilities for digital photography, from photorealistic to hyper-real. With all these advantages, the technique is expected to replace the conventional 8-bit Low Dynamic Range (LDR) im...

Digital photography-How long will it last?

Permanence issues for digital photographs arise in three different areas. First, the materials used for digital hard copies should preferably be as permanent as the conventional photographic materials. Longevity of digital hard copy materials is affected by the stability of the material and the storage conditions. Secondly, the digital files that are the counterpart of the conventional negative...

A Novel Patch-Based Digital Signature

In this paper a new patch-based digital signature (DS) is proposed. The proposed approach similar to steganography methods hides the secure message in a host image. However, it uses a patch-based key to encode/decode the data like cryptography approaches. Both the host image and key patches are randomly initialized. The proposed approach consists of encoding and decoding algorithms. The encodin...
