JPEG-2000, the successor to JPEG, is emerging as an attractive candidate for the future de facto image compression standard. However, while it offers superior results over most other image compression techniques, it comes with a long list of features and options, and consequently a highly complex algorithm. We have developed an image coder that can compete with the performance of JPEG-2000 whil...

The JPEG committee has been continuing its activities on definition of international standards related to still image coding systems in order to prepare the ground for interoperable solutions, products and services, which make use of digital images. Currently, JPEG committee is pursuing three such efforts, namely, JPSearch, which deals with annotation, search and retrieval of digital images and...

-The paper presents a novel LBG algorithm for image compression in wavelet transform domain. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated by using standard 512×512 benchmark still images and the results compared to the traditional well-known JPEG standard. The important metric of time and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio are used to evaluate the novel algorithm. The results show that the strength of...

Digital watermarking has been considered as an important technique to protect the copyright of digital content. For a digital watermarking method to be effective, it is essential that a watermark embedded in a still or moving image resists against various attacks ranging from compression, filtering to cropping. As JPEG is a dominant still image compression standard for Internet applications, di...

The JPEG standard technique involves three process mapping reduces interpixel redundancy, quantization, which is lossy process and entropy encoding, which is considered lossless process. Lossy JPEG compression is commonly used image compression technique. In the present paper a new hybrid technique has been introduced by combining the JPEG algorithm and Symbol Reduction Huffman technique for ac...

Lossy JPEG compression is a widely used compression technique. Normally the JPEG technique uses two process quantization, which is lossy process and entropy encoding, which is considered lossless process. In this paper, a new technique has been proposed by combining the JPEG algorithm and Symbol Reduction Huffman technique for achieving more compression ratio. The symbols reduction technique re...

Compression is playing a vital role in data transfer. Hence, Digital camera uses JPEG standard to compress the captured image. Hence, it reduces data storage requirements.Here, we proposed FPGA based JPEG encoder. The processing system is coupled with DCT and then it is quantized and then it is prepared for entropy coding to form a JPEG encoder.

We present techniques that allow the processing of an image in the \JPEG-compressed" domain. The goal is to reduce memory requirements while increasing speed by avoiding decompression and space domain operations. An e ort is made to implement the minimum number of JPEG basic operations. Techniques are presented for scaling, previewing, rotating, mirroring, cropping, recompressing, and segmentin...

JPEG is a popular DCT-based still image compression standard, which has played an important role in image storage and transmission since its development. Advanced Image Coding (AIC) is a still image compression system which combines the intra frame block prediction from H.264 with a JPEG-based discrete cosine transform followed by context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC). It performs m...

JPEG encodes a still image through a lossy encoding followed by a lossless entropy encoding. The entropy coding in JPEG is a combination of the runlength coding and a variable-length coding. The entropy encoding employed in JPEG aims to exploit repetition of strings within a block but not across blocks. We propose application of Burrows-Wheeler transformation (BWT) to exploit repetition of stri...
