  2. Image Compression • Everyday an enormous amount of information is stored, processed, and transmitted • Financial data • Reports • Inventory • Cable TV • Online Ordering and tracking Software Research

  3. Image Compression • Because much of this information is graphical or pictorial in nature, the storage and communications requirements are immense. • Image compression addresses the problem of reducing the amount of data requirements to represent a digital image. • Image Compression is becoming an enabling technology: HDTV. • Also it plays an important role in Video Conferencing, remote sensing, satellite TV, FAX, document and medical imaging. Software Research

  4. Image Compression • We want to remove redundancy from the data • Mathematically Transformation Statistically Uncorrelated data 2D array Of pixels Software Research

  5. Day4 : Image Compression • Outline: • Fundamentals • Coding Redundancy • Interpixel Redundancy • Psychovisual Redundancy • Fidelity Criteria • Error-Free Compression • Variable-length Coding • LZW Coding • Predictive Coding • Lossy Compression • Transform Coding • Wavelet Coding • Image Compression Standards Software Research

  6. Fundamentals • The term data compression refers to the process of reducing the amount of data required to represent a given quantity of information • Data Information • Various amount of data can be used to represent the same information • Data might contain elements that provide no relevant information : data redundancy • Data redundancy is a central issue in image compression. It is not an abstract concept but mathematically quantifiable entity Software Research Some Images are adopted from R. C. Gonzalez & R. E. Woods

  7. Data Redundancy • Let n1and n2 denote the number of information carrying units in two data sets that represent the same information • The relative redundancy RD is define as : where CR, commonly called the compression ratio, is Software Research

  8. Data Redundancy • If n1= n2 , CR=1 and RD=0 no redundancy • If n1>> n2 , CRand RD high redundancy • If n1<< n2 , CRand RD undesirable • A compression ration of 10 (10:1) means that the first data set has 10 information carrying units (say, bits) for every 1 unit in the second (compressed) data set. • In Image compression , 3 basic redundancy can be identified • Coding Redundancy • Interpixel Redundancy • Psychovisual Redundancy Software Research

  9. Coding Redundancy • Recall from the histogram calculations where p(rk) is the probability of a pixel to have a certain value rk If the number of bits used to represent rk is l(rk), then Software Research

  10. Coding Redundancy • Example: Software Research

  11. Coding Redundancy Variable-Length Coding Software Research

  12. Inter-pixel Redundancy Here the two pictures have Approximately the same Histogram. We must exploit Pixel Dependencies. Each pixel can be estimated From its neighbors. Software Research

  13. Run-Length Encoding Example of Inter-pixel Redundancy removal Software Research

  14. Psycho-visual Redundancy The human visual system is more sensitive to edges Middle Picture: Uniform quantization from 256 to 16 gray levels CR= 2 Right picture: Improved gray level quantization (IGS) CR= 2 Software Research

  15. Fidelity Criteria The error between two functions is given by: So, the total error between the two images is The root-mean-square error averaged over the whole image is Software Research

  16. Fidelity Criteria • A closely related objective fidelity criterion is the mean square signal to noise ratio of the compressed-decompressed image Software Research

  17. Fidelity Criteria Software Research

  18. Compression Model The source encoder is responsible for removing redundancy (coding, inter-pixel, psycho-visual) The channel encoder ensures robustness against channel noise. Software Research

  19. Compression Types Compression Error-Free Compression (Loss-less) Lossy Compression Software Research

  20. Error-Free Compression • Some applications require no error in compression (medical, business documents, etc..) • CR=2 to 10 can be expected. • Make use of coding redundancy and inter-pixel redundancy. • Ex: Huffman codes, LZW, Arithmetic coding, 1D and 2D run-length encoding, Loss-less Predictive Coding, and Bit-Plane Coding. Software Research

  21. Huffman Coding • The most popular technique for removing coding redundancy is due to Huffman (1952) • Huffman Coding yields the smallest number of code symbols per source symbol • The resulting code is optimal Software Research

  22. Huffman Codes Software Research

  23. Huffman Codes Software Research

  24. Workshop Obtain the Huffman codes for the following sequence: • 5 5 5 5 8 8 4 2 7 7 7 2 2 2 2 4 4 7 7 7 7 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 4 4 4 • What is the average code length with and without compression ? Software Research

  25. Fixed Length: LZW Coding • Error Free Compression Technique • Remove Inter-pixel redundancy • Requires no priori knowledge of probability distribution of pixels • Assigns fixed length code words to variable length sequences • Patented Algorithm US 4,558,302 • Included in GIF and TIFF and PDF file formats Software Research

  26. LZW Coding • Coding Technique • A codebook or a dictionary has to be constructed • For an 8-bit monochrome image, the first 256 entries are assigned to the gray levels 0,1,2,..,255. • As the encoder examines image pixels, gray level sequences that are not in the dictionary are assigned to a new entry. • For instance sequence 255-255 can be assigned to entry 256, the address following the locations reserved for gray levels 0 to 255. Software Research

  27. Dictionary Location Entry • 0 0 • 1 1 • . . • 255 255 • 256 - • 511 - LZW Coding • Example Consider the following 4 x 4 8 bit image 39 39 126 126 39 39 126 126 39 39 126 126 39 39 126 126 Initial Dictionary Software Research

Transform Coding • A reversible linear transform (such as Fourier Transform) is used to map the image into a set of transform coefficients • These coefficients are then quantized and coded. • The goal of transform coding is to decorrelate pixels and pack as much information into small number of transform coefficients. • Compression is achieved during quantization not during the transform step Software Research
