Image compression has a wide range of application since it leads to reduction in storage space and easy transmission. Piecewise smooth image consists of sharp edge boundaries and smooth interior surfaces. This paper deals with compression of Piecewise smooth images using Graph Fourier Transform and Discrete Cosine Transform. In order to obtain better quality of reconstructed image blocks contains edge boundaries are transformed using DCT and smooth regions are transformed using both weighted GFT and unweighted GFT. In order to reduce the computational complexity, low pass filter and down sample a high resolution pixel block to obtain a low resolution one at the encoder, so that LR-GFT can be employed. At the decoder upsampling and interpolation are performed so that sharp edge boundaries can be preserved.
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.
