Integer lapped orthogonal transforms (LOTs) are vital technologies for the unification of lossless and lossy image coding, called losslessto-lossy image coding. In this paper, we...
JPEG 2000 is a lossy integer-to-integer transform-based compression method that first quantizes the separable 2-D wavelet transform coefficients, then entropy codes them. The imag...
EROS is the largest database in the world of high resolution art pictures. The TSAR project is designed to open it in a secure, efficient and user-friendly way that involves cryp...
It is well known that JPEG2000 has a variety of advantages over its predecessor JPEG. JPEG2000 not only allows images to be coded with clearly better visual image quality, it also...
-- We characterize the best achievable performance of lossy compression algorithms operating on arbitrary random sources, and with respect to general distortion measures. Direct an...
