  5. Highly Scalable Compression (2-1) • A Scalable Bit-stream • A Highly Scalable Bit-stream • Highly Scalable Compression A Scalable Bit-stream: One that may be partially discarded to obtain an efficient representation or a lower resolution version of the original image at a different bit-rate. A Highly Scalable Bit-stream: One that may be decompressed in many different ways with different results, depending on what information has been discarded. Compress Once: Decompress Many Ways • Refers to the generation of a highly scalable bit-stream

  6. Quality Progression Resolution Progression Elements of a distortion & resolution scalable bit-stream Highly Scalable Compression (2-2) • A Resolution Scalable Bit-stream • A Distortion Scalable Bit-stream • A Spatial Scalable Bit-stream (random access) Resolution Scalable: Containing distinct subsets representing successive resolution levels. Wavelet transformis an important tool in the construction of resolution scalable bit-streams. Distortion Scalable: Containing distinct subsets successively augmenting the quality (reducing the distortion). Embedded quantization is central to the construction of distortion scalable bit-streams. Random Access: Identifying the region within each subband and hence the code-blocks which are required to correctly reconstruct the region of interest. (Not in detail)

Optimal Truncation (3-1) • Post-Compression Rate-Distortion (PCRD) Optimization • Rate distortion (R-D) optimization • PCRD • Problem Description Truncate each code-block bit-stream in an optimal way so as to minimize distortion subject to the bit-rate constraint. The rate-distortion algorithm is applied after all the subband samples have been compressed. Optimal selection of the truncation points, { ni}, so as to minimize overall distortion, D, subject to an overall length constraint, Lmax . D = Dini, Lmax  L = Lini Select ni truncated to Lini with distortion Dini for code-block Bi

  12. Encode first the most significant bits for all samples. Purpose: Ensure a sufficiently fine embedding. Bit-plane coding Assumption: Significant samples tend to be clustered. Embedded Block Coding (6-1) • Basics • Classical context adaptive arithmetic coding (18) • Bit-plane coding • Fractional bit-plane coding (Passes) • Sub-blocks with explicit sub-block significance coding

Entire Code-block IdentifyingSignificance ConstructingTree Embedded Quad-tree Structure Embedded Block Coding (6-3) • Sub-Block Significance Coding ( 16  16 ) • For each bit-plane, first encode information to identify those sub-blocks that contain one or more significant samples • One way to encode is quad-tree coding • Bit-Plane Coding Primitives • 4 primitives: Zero coding (ZC), Run-length coding (RLC),Sign coding (SC) and Magnitude refinement (MR) • How to use these primitives ? • In every case, the symbol must be coded using arithmetic coder with 18 probability models IF the sample is not yet significant, ZC or RLC is used; IF it is significant, SC is used; ELSE (the sample is already significant) MR is used. qewra qewra 18 Probability Models:9 for ZC; 1 for RLC; 5 for SC; 3 for MR.

  15. 1) Four consecutive samples must all be insignificant; 2) Their neighbors must all be insignificant; 3) They must reside within the same sub-block; 4) The horizontal index of the first sample must be even. diagonal horizontal vertical Note: Neighbors outside the code-block are insignificant. Formation of Significance Coding Contexts Embedded Block Coding (6-4) • Zero Coding (ZC)  9 • To code pth bit of the quantized magnitude M, given that the sample is not yet significant ( M < 2p+1) • Dependency ( empirical studies ) • Run-Length Coding (RLC)  1 • To reduce the number of symbols which must be coded • Invoked in ZC when sample and its neighbors are all insignificant • A group of four samples satisfying 4 conditions is encoded as a single symbol to identify whether any is significant qewra

  16. 0:Both neighbors are insignificant or significant with different signs; 1: At least one neighbor is positive; -1: At least one neighbor is negative. Context 0:S = 0 and4 neighbors are insignificant; Context 1:S = 0 and at least one neighbor is significant; Context 2:S = 1. (S is a state variable that transitions from 0 to 1 after MR is first applied to the sample.) Embedded Block Coding (6-5) • Sign Coding (SC)  5 (concerning the signs of 4 neighbors) • Used at most once when found significant in ZC or RLC • Redundancy exploited ( 2 symmetry properties ) • Magnitude Refinement (MR)  3 • To code pth bit of the quantized magnitude M, given that M 2p+1 • Dependency ( empirical studies ) qewra

Appearance of coding passes and quad-tree codes in each block’s embedded bit-stream 1) Samples are visited in the reverse order; 2) PN is expanded: At least one of 8 neighbors is significant. Embedded Block Coding (6-6) • Fractional Bit-Planes (4) • For each bit-plane, the coding proceeds in some passes and each sample appears in exactly one of the passes • Forward Significance Propagation Pass ( 1pfor bit-plane p ) • Skipping over all samples either insignificant or that do not have a preferred neighborhood(PN) • Reverse Significance Propagation Pass ( 2p) • Identical to 1pexcept two points • Magnitude Refinement Pass ( 3p) • Already significant and no information has been coded • Normalization Pass ( 4p)  all sample not considered before qewra qewra qewra
