A New Shape-Vector Quantization-Based Adaptive Predictive Image Coder

摘要

In this paper, a new lossless image compression tech- nique, shape-vector quantization (VQ)-based adaptive predictive coder (SAPC), is introduced. In the proposed scheme, the local shape information of the image block is obtained through shape-VQ. This information is utilized by a novel predictive coder, shape-differential pulse code modulation (DPCM), to adaptively select the optimum predictor on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The prediction errors can be further compressed by an error-adjusting process.
