Wavelet image coding using variable blocksize vector quantization with optimal quadtree segmentation

In this paper, we propose an image coding scheme by using the variable blocksize vector quantization (VBVQ) to compress wavelet coefficients of an image. The scheme is capable of finding an optimal quadtree segmentation of wavelet coefficients of an image for VBVQ subject to a given bit budget, such that the total distortion of quantized wavelet coefficients is minimal. From our simulation results, we can see that our proposed coding scheme has higher performance in PSNR than other wavelet/VQ or subband/VQ coding schemes.     

A successive approximation vector quantizer for wavelet transformimage coding

A coding method for wavelet coefficients of images using vector quantization, called successive approximation vector quantization (SA-W-VQ) is proposed. In this method, each vector is coded by a series of vectors of decreasing magnitudes until a certain distortion level is reached. The successive approximation using vectors is analyzed, and conditions for convergence are derived. It is shown that lattice codebooks are an efficient tool for meeting these conditions without the need for very large codebooks. Regular lattices offer the extra advantage of fast encoding algorithms. In SA-W-VQ, distortion equalization of the wavelet coefficients can be achieved together with high compression ratio and precise bit-rate control. The performance of SA-W-VQ for still image coding is compared against some of the most successful image coding systems reported in the literature. The comparison shows that SA-W-VQ performs remarkably well at several bit rates and in various test images.     

Fast competitive learning with classified learning rates for vector quantization

In this paper, we present a new competitive learning algorithm with classified learning rates, and apply it to vector quantization of images. The basic idea is to assign a distinct learning rate to each reference vector. Each reference vector is updated independently of all the other reference vectors using its own learning rate. Each learning rate is changed only when its corresponding reference vector wins the competition, and the learning rates of the losing reference vectors are not changed. The experimental results obtained with image vector quantization show that the proposed method learns more rapidly and yields better quality of the coded images than conventional competitive learning method with a scalar learning rate.

Pyramidal lattice vector quantization for multiscale image coding

Introduces a new image coding scheme using lattice vector quantization. The proposed method involves two steps: biorthogonal wavelet transform of the image, and lattice vector quantization of wavelet coefficients. In order to obtain a compromise between minimum distortion and bit rate, we must truncate and scale the lattice suitably. To meet this goal, we need to know how many lattice points lie within the truncated area. We investigate the case of Laplacian sources where surfaces of equal probability are spheres for the L(1) metric (pyramids) for arbitrary lattices. We give explicit generating functions for the codebook sizes for the most useful lattices like Z(n), D(n), E(s), wedge(16).     

Constrained-storage vector quantization with a universal codebook

Many image compression techniques require the quantization of multiple vector sources with significantly different distributions. With vector quantization (VQ), these sources are optimally quantized using separate codebooks, which may collectively require an enormous memory space. Since storage is limited in most applications, a convenient way to gracefully trade between performance and storage is needed. Earlier work addressed this problem by clustering the multiple sources into a small number of source groups, where each group shares a codebook. We propose a new solution based on a size-limited universal codebook that can be viewed as the union of overlapping source codebooks. This framework allows each source codebook to consist of any desired subset of the universal code vectors and provides greater design flexibility which improves the storage-constrained performance. A key feature of this approach is that no two sources need be encoded at the same rate. An additional advantage of the proposed method is its close relation to universal, adaptive, finite-state and classified quantization. Necessary conditions for optimality of the universal codebook and the extracted source codebooks are derived. An iterative design algorithm is introduced to obtain a solution satisfying these conditions. Possible applications of the proposed technique are enumerated, and its effectiveness is illustrated for coding of images using finite-state vector quantization, multistage vector quantization, and tree-structured vector quantization.
