A new image coding technique based on an Linfinity-norm criterion and exploiting statistical properties of the reconstruction error is investigated. The original image is preprocessed, quantized, encoded, and reconstructed within a given confidence interval. Two important classes of preprocessing, namely linear prediction and iterated filterbanks, are used. The approach is also shown to be compatible with previous techniques. The approach allows a great flexibility in that it can perform lossless coding as well as a controlled lossy one: specifications are typically that only p% the reconstructed pixels are different from the original ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
