The block processing inherent in the use of traditional vector quantization (VQ) schemes typically gives rise to perceptually distracting blocking artifacts. We demonstrate that s...

Abstract--Minimum redundancy coding (also known as Huffman coding) is one of the enduring techniques of data compression. Many efforts have been made to improve the efficiency of m...
We present here design techniques for trellis-coded vector quantizers with symmetric codebooks that facilitate lowcomplexity quantization as well as partitioning into equiprobable ...
We suggest a novel approach for compressing images of text documents based on building up a simple derived font from patterns in the image, and present the results of a prototype ...
Image morphing has been the subject of much attention in recent years. It has proven to be a powerful visual effects tool in film and television, depicting the fluid transformatio...
