JOINT IMAGE COMPRESSION METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A joint image compression system (200, 300) and method (100) compress a target image and a reference image under a selected transform to produce a compressed difference image. The joint image compression system includes a computer readable media (210) and a computer program (220) stored on the computer readable media. The computer program includes instructions that implement selecting (110) a transform from among a plurality of transforms that includes a subset determined projective (SDP) transform, where the selected transform minimizes a cumulative mapping error (CME) for corresponding feature points in each of a target image (302) and a reference image (304). The instructions further implement applying (120) the selected transform to one of the target image and the reference image; forming (130) a difference image under the selected transform and compressing (140) the difference image to produce a compressed difference image.
