DIGITALES SYSTEM ZUM REDUZIEREN UND UEBERTRAGEN VON BILDDATEN, DAS VISUELL GEWICHTETE TRANSFORMATIONSKOEFFIZIENTEN VERWENDET.

摘要

A system for compressing and transmitting a digital image signal over a limited bandwidth communication channel, transform codes the image values and quantizes the transform coefficients according to a two-dimensional model of the sensitivity of the human visual system. The model of the human visual system is characterized by being less sensitive to diagonally oriented spatial frequencies than to horizontally or vertically oriented spatial frequencies, thereby achieving increased compression of the image.
