An Improved Image Compression Algorithm Based on Block and Classification Scheme

Abstract

To improve compression performance, and realize the automatic selection of compression algorithms in processing images without the prior information, the regularity relationship between compression algorithms and image features is studied, and a preprocessing scheme of block and classification based on image features has been proposed in this paper. Compression algorithms pre and post preprocessing scheme are investigated for the same 100 images. Our scheme achieves the larger peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed preprocessing scheme of block and classification in improving compression performance and selecting suitable algorithm to process image without the prior information.
