Image and Video Coding Using a Wavelet Decomposition

摘要

The thesis discusses the recently developed wavelet theory with respect to itsapplication to image and video coding. The purpose is to evaluate what this theory has contributed to the already existing subband coding method. Further, a new image coding technique is presented that can be viewed as a combination of the wavelet transform and a contour-texture coding technique. The coding performance of the new method is compared to existing methods. (Copyright (c) 1994 by H. J. Barnard.)
