The Minimum-Entropy Clustering (MEC) algorithm proposed in this paper provides an optimal method for addressing the non-stationarity of a source with respect to entropy coding. Th...
In this paper we study various chain codes, which are representations of binary image contours, in terms of their ability to compress in the best way the contour information using...
Lossless image compression techniques typically consider images to be a sequence of pixels in row major order. The processing of each pixel consists of two separate operations. Th...
Scalability and others functionalities such as the Region of Interest encoding become essential properties of an efficient image coding scheme. Within the framework of lossless co...
Images are usually transmitted across the Internet using a lossless protocol such as TCP/IP. Lossless protocols require retransmission of lost packets, which substantially increas...
