ADAPTIVE VIDEO COMPRESSION

摘要

The fidelity of compressed images is improved by computing a scaling value for each block based on a perceptual classification performed in the spatial domain. This provides a computationally simple way to reduce artifacts by computing appropriate block-variable scale factors for the quantization tables used in frequency domain-based compression schemes such as the JPEG compression standard. Because a scale factor for a block is determined based on computations performed in the spatial domain, such computations can be made in parallel with the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) computation. <IMAGE>
