Description
Summary:Wavelet based subband image coding has been shown to be an
effective image compression technique for high quality source
coding at low-bit rates. This dissertation addresses the
fundamentals of the major topics of digital image data
compression and transmission with an approach utilizing a new
wavelet based hybrid image coding and a special-modeled
source. It also provides the discussion of the Adaptive
Correlated Switching Predictors for DPCM (ACSP-DPCM) which
adapt the correlation values per block. And, it also
discusses the new modified DPCM which reduces the entropy a
considerable amount throughout the encoding process. When
transmitting. the spatial diversity channel is addressed
subject to a constraint on the wavelet coefficients and the
inter- and intra-band energy similarities of the subbands.
While encoding, an adaptive thresholding method, along with
different quantizers, based upon the distribution of sources
is discussed. Experimental results show that the compression
ratio of about 32:1 still provides good quality for a
reconstructed image and for a high channel noise an
acceptable reconstructed image (above 40 dB of PSNR).
