Pyramid Linear Prediction Coding for Images

摘要

Motivated by wavelet transform, this paper presents a pyramid linear prediction coding (PLPC) algorithmfor digitial images.The algorithm otltpots the rough colltour of an image and a prediction ermr sequence. In contrastto the conventional linear prediction method, PLPC exhibits very little sensitivity to channel ermrs and provides amore efficient compression performance. The results of simulations with Lena 512 X 512 and bitrates ranging from0.17 to 3.2 (lossless)bits/pixel are given to show that the PLPC method is very suitable for the human visualperception.
