A wavelet packet based block-partitioning image coding algorithm with rate-distortion optimization

Abstract

As an elegant generalization of wavelet transform, wavelet packet (WP) provides an effective representation tool for adaptive waveform analysis. Recent work shows that image-coding methods based on WP decomposition can achieve significant gain over those based on a usual wavelet transform. However, most of the work adopts a tree-structured quantization scheme, which is a successful technique for wavelet image coding, but not appropriate for WP subbands. This paper presents an image-coding algorithm based on a rate-distortion optimized wavelet packet decomposition and on an intraband block-partitioning scheme. By encoding each WP subband separately with the block-partitioning algorithm and the JPEG2000 context modeling, the proposed algorithm naturally avoids the difficulty in defining parent-offspring relationships for the WP coefficients, which has to be faced when adopting the tree-structured quantization scheme. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms SPIHT and JPEG2000 schemes and also surpasses state-of-the-art WP image coding algorithms, in terms of both PSNR and visual quality. basis selection, bitplane coding, context modeling, set partition, wavelet packet (WP)

A linear ridgelet network approach for fault diagnosis of analog circuit

“…Then the approximations will be only decomposed consecutively. In contrast, wavelet packet decomposition decomposes not only the low frequency approximations but also the high frequency details, giving rise to better high frequency resolution [18][19][20][21]. So wavelet packet decomposition has finer, more complete time-frequency properties and can acquire more essential features of a signal than wavelet decomposition, thus guaranteeing that the proposed linear ridgelet network converges rapidly in the training phase and has good classification performance.…”

JPEG2000 Part 2 wavelet packet subband structures in fingerprint recognition

“…15 The algorithm (denoted as RDOH) uses the rate-distortion statistics of JPEG2000 where the EBCOT scheme uses it to find the optimal truncation points for the code-blocks. In addition to the use of the classical rate information, we also consider the JPEG2000 header data during the computation of the optimal subband structure (RDOH stands for "rate-distortion optimisation with headers").…”
