Abstract:Wavelet transforms have proved to be very powerful tools for image compression. Previous studies haveverified that there is a strong correlation between the sign of a wavelet coefficient and the signs of their neighbors. This correlation opens the possibility of using a sign predictor in order to improve the image compression process. In this paper a new sign coding approximation method for the wavelet coefficients in a 2D image codec based on an iterated local search algorithm (ILS) is presented. The efficien… Show more
