The efficiency of compressing color-quantized images using general purpose lossless image coding methods depends on the degree of smoothness of the index images. A wellknown and v...
The embedded-block coding with optimized truncation (EBCOT), which consists of a bit-plane coder (BPC) and a binary arithmetic coder (BAC), is the bottleneck in realizing a high-p...
The human visual system plays a key role in the final perceived quality of the compressed images. It is therefore desirable to allow system designers and users to take advantage o...
It is well known that JPEG2000 has a variety of advantages over its predecessor JPEG. JPEG2000 not only allows images to be coded with clearly better visual image quality, it also...
Images are often compressed using JPEG or JPEG2000. Many retrieval systems operated in either uncompressed or compressed domains have been proposed. However, retrieving in multipl...
