Method, system and software product for color image encoding

摘要

METHOD, SYSTEM AND SOFTWARE PRODUCT FOR COLOR IMAGE ENCODING The present invention relates to the compression of color image data. A combination of hard decision pixel mapping and soft decision pixel mapping is used to jointly address both quantization distortion and compression rate while maintaining low computational complexity and compatibility with io standard decoders, such as, for example, the GIF/PNG decoder. 2472055.cxh
