Image Compression is to minimize the size in bytes of a graphics file without degrading the quality of the image to an unacceptable level. The compound image compression normally based on three classification methods that is object based, layer based and block based. This paper presents a block-based segmentation. for visually lossless compression of scanned documents that contain not only photographic images but also text and graphic images. In low bit rate applications they suffer with undesirable compression artifacts, especially for document images. Existing methods can reduce these artifacts by using post processing methods without changing the encoding process. Some of these post processing methods requires classification of the encoded blocks into different categories.
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.
