Abstract
A novel image compression techinque is presented for low cost multimed ia applications. The technique is based on quadtree segmented two-dime nsional predictive coding for exploiting correlation between adjacent image blocks and uniformity in variable block size image blocks. Low c omplexity visual pattern block truncation coding (VP-BTC) defined with a set of sixteen visual patterns is employed to code the high activit y image blocks. Simulation results showed that the new technique achie ved high performance with superior subjective quality at low bit rate.
