The human visual systems are able to perceive various intensity of the colour image while it is not able to respond small different colour signals of the image. The sensitivity of the color image can be measured by a psychovisual threshold. A psychovisual threshold represents the sensitivity of the human eye to the image. The quantization tables are obtained to determine psychovisual threshold that can be perceived visually by the human eye. This paper presents a generating of the quantization tables from a psychovisual threshold on grayscale TMT image compression. This paper introduces the concept of psychovisual threshold into TMT image compression. TMT image compression has been shown to perform better than the standard JPEG image compression. This model has been implemented on TMT image compression. The experiment results show that a psychovisual threshold for TMT basis function provides better image compression performance.

Abstract. Currently the digital multimedia data can easily be copied. Digital image watermarking is an alternative approach to authentication and copyright protection of digital image content. An alternative embedding watermark based on human eye properties can be used to effectively hide the watermark image. This paper introduces the embedding watermark scheme along the edge based on the concept of psychovisual threshold. This paper will investigate the sensitivity of minor changes in DCT coefficients against JPEG quantization tables. Based on the concept of psychovisual threshold, there are still deep holes in JPEG quantization values to embed a watermark. This paper locates and utilizes them to embed a watermark. The proposed scheme has been tested against various non-malicious attacks. The experiment results show the watermark is robust against JPEG image compression, noise attacks and low pass filtering.

“…The orthogonal Tchebichef moments have been widely used in several image processing applications due to their advantages of preserving the property of orthogonality in a moment set. For example, they have been used in image compression (Ernawan et al, 2011;Rahmalan et al, 2010;Abu et al, 2010;Senapati et al, 2010), image dithering (Ernawan et al, 2012), image watermarking (Chang and Chang, 2010), image recognition and face recognition (Tiagrajah et al, 2011). The original implementation of TMT does not Science Publications JCS require any numerical approximation, thus gives rise to more accurate image feature representation.…”

Adaptive Tchebichef Moment Transform Image Compression Using Psychovisual Model

An extension of the standard JPEG image compression known as JPEG-3 allows rescaling of the quantization matrix to achieve a certain image output quality. Recently, Tchebichef Moment Transform (TMT) has been introduced in the field of image compression. TMT has been shown to perform better than the standard JPEG image compression. This study presents an adaptive TMT image compression. This task is obtained by generating custom quantization tables for low, medium and high image output quality levels based on a psychovisual model. A psychovisual model is developed to approximate visual threshold on Tchebichef moment from image reconstruction error. The contribution of each moment will be investigated and analyzed in a quantitative experiment. The sensitivity of TMT basis functions can be measured by evaluating their contributions to image reconstruction for each moment order. The psychovisual threshold model allows a developer to design several custom TMT quantization tables for a user to choose from according to his or her target output preference. Consequently, these quantization tables produce lower average bit length of Huffman code while still retaining higher image quality than the extended JPEG scaling scheme.
