Compression algorithms can average a color across these similar areas in a manner similar to those used in JPEG image compression. [10] As in all lossy compression, there is a trade-off between video quality and bit rate , cost of processing the compression and decompression, and system requirements.
Embedded zerotree wavelet algorithm (EZW) as developed by J. Shapiro in 1993, enables scalable image transmission and decoding. It is based on four key concepts: first, it should be a discrete wavelet transform or hierarchical subband decomposition; second, it should predict the absence of significant information when exploring the self-similarity inherent in images; third, it has entropy ...
The Color Cell Compression algorithm processes an image in eight steps, although one of the steps (step #6) is optional. It is assumed here that the input is a 24 bits/pixel image, as assumed in the original journal article, although other bit depths could be used.
Take a 4×4 block from an image, in this case the mountain test image: [7] Like any small block from an image this appears rather boring to work with as the numbers are all quite similar, this is the nature of lossy compression and how it can work so well for images.
Algorithms are generally quite specifically tuned to a particular type of file: for example, lossless audio compression programs do not work well on text files, and vice versa. In particular, files of random data cannot be consistently compressed by any conceivable lossless data compression algorithm; indeed, this result is used to define the ...
The LZ4 algorithm aims to provide a good trade-off between speed and compression ratio. Typically, it has a smaller (i.e., worse) compression ratio than the similar LZO algorithm, which in turn is worse than algorithms like DEFLATE. However, LZ4 compression speed is similar to LZO and several times faster than DEFLATE, while decompression speed ...
Algorithms exist to convert between chain code, crack code, and run-length encoding. A new trend of chain codes involve the utilization of biological behaviors. This started by the work of Mouring et al. [6] who developed an algorithm that takes advantage of the pheromone of ants to track image information. An ant releases a pheromone when they ...
