Information representing an image is decoded by method an apparatus wherein information including digital data representing an image and digital data concerning at least one region of interest in the image is received,) an encoded bit stream is entropy decoded starting from a bit field of a higher bit significance level and continuing down to the bit field of a lower bit significance level to obtain transform coefficients, the transform coefficients corresponding to the region of interest are scaled down to place the transform coefficients in lower bit significance level planes, wherein the lowest bit plane of the region of interest is placed at the same bit plane as the lowest bit plane of the other transform coefficients, and an inverse wavelet transform is performed in order to reconstruct the digital image data.
摘要:
In a method of image compression a region of interest of the image represented by digital image data is selected. Bits of transform coefficients corresponding to the digital image data of the selected image are then shifted by a variable amount. The output comprises said digital image data corresponding to said shifted bits of transform coefficients being output earlier than the digital image data corresponding to areas outside of the region of interest.
摘要:
In compressing digital image data a wavelet transform of all the pixel values in the digital image data is performed to obtain transform coefficients composed of bit planes. The transform coefficients corresponding to each region of interest are scaled up to place the transform coefficients in higher bit significance level planes than bit significance level planes of the other transform coefficients, wherein the scaling up is performed based on a maximum bit shift value if a priority assigned to the region of interest indicates the maximum bit shift value. The transform coefficients are then entropy encoded to form a bit stream, wherein the transform coefficients in the higher bit significance level planes are encoded at earlier stages of the encoding process than transform coefficients in lower bit significance level planes. A corresponding process of decoding is also disclosed.
摘要:
In image decoding a region of interest coordinate information and a bit shift value are obtained from a header in a bit stream, said bit shift value being assigned to each region of interest. The coded digital image data is coded starting from a bit field of a higher bit significance level and continuing down to the bit field of a lower bit significance level to obtain transform coefficients. The transform coefficients corresponding to each region of interest are scaled down, wherein the scaling down is performed by shifting bits of said transform coefficients by said bit shift value specified by a priority assigned to said region of interest to place the transform coefficients in lower bit significance level planes, wherein the lowest bit plane of the region of interest is placed at the same bit plane as the lowest bit plane of the other transform coefficients. An inverse wavelet transform is then performed on said transform coefficients.
