Cooper November 30, 2015 The field of lossless image compression studies the various ways to represent image data in the most compact and efficient manner possible that also allows the image to be reproduced without any loss. One of the most efficient strategies used in lossless compression is to introduce entropy reduction through decorrelation. This study focuses on using the exclusive-or logic operator in a decorrelation filter as the preprocessing phase of lossless image compression of continuous-tone images. The exclusive-or logic operator is simply and reversibly applied to continuous-tone images for the purpose of extracting differences between neighboring pixels. Implementation of the exclusive-or operator also does not introduce data expansion. Traditional as well as innovative prediction methods are included for the creation of inputs for the exclusive- or logic based decorrelation filter. The results of the filter are then encoded by a variation of the Lempel-Ziv-Welch dictionary coder. Dictionary coding is selected for the coding phase of the algorithm because it does not require the storage of code tables or probabilities and because it is lower in complexity than other popular options such as Huffman or Arithmetic coding. The first modification of the Lempel-Ziv-Welch dictionary coder is that image data can be read in a sequence that is linear, 2-dimensional, or an adaptive combination of both. The second modification of the dictionary coder is that the coder can instead include multiple, dynamically chosen dictionaries. Experiments indicate that the exclusive-or operator based decorrelation filter when combined with a modified Lempel-Ziv-Welch dictionary coder provides compression comparable to algorithms that represent the current standard in lossless compression. The proposed algorithm provides compression performance that is below the Context-Based, v Adaptive, Lossless Image Compression (CALIC) algorithm by 23%, below the Low Complexity Lossless Compression for Images (LOCO-I) algorithm by 19%, and below the Portable Network Graphics implementation of the Deflate algorithm by 7%, but above the Zip implementation of the Deflate algorithm by 24%. The proposed algorithm uses the exclusive-or operator in the modeling phase and uses modified Lempel-Ziv-Welch dictionary coding in the coding phase to form a low complexity, reversible, and dynamic method of lossless image compression. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication ....................................................................................................................................... iii Acknowledgements ......................................................................................................................... iv Abstract ............................................................................................................................................ v List of Tables ................................................................................................................................... xi List of Figures ................................................................................................................................ xiv 1.

  • Arithmetic Coding
    Arithmetic Coding Arithmetic coding is the most efficient method to code symbols according to the probability of their occurrence. The average code length corresponds exactly to the possible minimum given by information theory. Deviations which are caused by the bit-resolution of binary code trees do not exist. In contrast to a binary Huffman code tree the arithmetic coding offers a clearly better compression rate. Its implementation is more complex on the other hand. In arithmetic coding, a message is encoded as a real number in an interval from one to zero. Arithmetic coding typically has a better compression ratio than Huffman coding, as it produces a single symbol rather than several separate codewords. Arithmetic coding differs from other forms of entropy encoding such as Huffman coding in that rather than separating the input into component symbols and replacing each with a code, arithmetic coding encodes the entire message into a single number, a fraction n where (0.0 ≤ n < 1.0) Arithmetic coding is a lossless coding technique. There are a few disadvantages of arithmetic coding. One is that the whole codeword must be received to start decoding the symbols, and if there is a corrupt bit in the codeword, the entire message could become corrupt. Another is that there is a limit to the precision of the number which can be encoded, thus limiting the number of symbols to encode within a codeword. There also exist many patents upon arithmetic coding, so the use of some of the algorithms also call upon royalty fees. Arithmetic coding is part of the JPEG data format.

  • Modification of Adaptive Huffman Coding for Use in Encoding Large Alphabets
    ITM Web of Conferences 15, 01004 (2017) DOI: 10.1051/itmconf/20171501004 CMES’17 Modification of Adaptive Huffman Coding for use in encoding large alphabets Mikhail Tokovarov1,* 1Lublin University of Technology, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty, Institute of Computer Science, Nadbystrzycka 36B, 20-618 Lublin, Poland Abstract. The paper presents the modification of Adaptive Huffman Coding method – lossless data compression technique used in data transmission. The modification was related to the process of adding a new character to the coding tree, namely, the author proposes to introduce two special nodes instead of single NYT (not yet transmitted) node as in the classic method. One of the nodes is responsible for indicating the place in the tree a new node is attached to. The other node is used for sending the signal indicating the appearance of a character which is not presented in the tree. The modified method was compared with existing methods of coding in terms of overall data compression ratio and performance. The proposed method may be used for large alphabets i.e. for encoding the whole words instead of separate characters, when new elements are added to the tree comparatively frequently. Huffman coding is frequently chosen for implementing open source projects [3]. The present paper contains the 1 Introduction description of the modification that may help to improve Efficiency and speed – the two issues that the current the algorithm of adaptive Huffman coding in terms of world of technology is centred at.

  • Probability Interval Partitioning Entropy Codes Detlev Marpe, Senior Member, IEEE, Heiko Schwarz, and Thomas Wiegand, Senior Member, IEEE
    SUBMITTED TO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY 1 Probability Interval Partitioning Entropy Codes Detlev Marpe, Senior Member, IEEE, Heiko Schwarz, and Thomas Wiegand, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—A novel approach to entropy coding is described that entropy coding while the assignment of codewords to symbols provides the coding efficiency and simple probability modeling is the actual entropy coding. For decades, two methods have capability of arithmetic coding at the complexity level of Huffman dominated practical entropy coding: Huffman coding that has coding. The key element of the proposed approach is given by a partitioning of the unit interval into a small set of been invented in 1952 [8] and arithmetic coding that goes back disjoint probability intervals for pipelining the coding process to initial ideas attributed to Shannon [7] and Elias [9] and along the probability estimates of binary random variables. for which first practical schemes have been published around According to this partitioning, an input sequence of discrete 1976 [10][11]. Both entropy coding methods are capable of source symbols with arbitrary alphabet sizes is mapped to a approximating the entropy limit (in a certain sense) [12]. sequence of binary symbols and each of the binary symbols is assigned to one particular probability interval. With each of the For a fixed probability mass function, Huffman codes are intervals being represented by a fixed probability, the probability relatively easy to construct. The most attractive property of interval partitioning entropy (PIPE) coding process is based on Huffman codes is that their implementation can be efficiently the design and application of simple variable-to-variable length realized by the use of variable-length code (VLC) tables.

  • Entropy Encoding in Wavelet Image Compression
    Entropy Encoding in Wavelet Image Compression Myung-Sin Song1 Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville [email protected] Summary. Entropy encoding which is a way of lossless compression that is done on an image after the quantization stage. It enables to represent an image in a more efficient way with smallest memory for storage or transmission. In this paper we will explore various schemes of entropy encoding and how they work mathematically where it applies. 1 Introduction In the process of wavelet image compression, there are three major steps that makes the compression possible, namely, decomposition, quanti- zation and entropy encoding steps. While quantization may be a lossy step where some quantity of data may be lost and may not be re- covered, entropy encoding enables a lossless compression that further compresses the data. [13], [18], [5] In this paper we discuss various entropy encoding schemes that are used by engineers (in various applications). 1.1 Wavelet Image Compression In wavelet image compression, after the quantization step (see Figure 1) entropy encoding, which is a lossless form of compression is performed on a particular image for more efficient storage. Either 8 bits or 16 bits are required to store a pixel on a digital image. With efficient entropy encoding, we can use a smaller number of bits to represent a pixel in an image; this results in less memory usage to store or even transmit an image. Karhunen-Lo`eve theorem enables us to pick the best basis thus to minimize the entropy and error, to better represent an image for optimal storage or transmission.

  • The Deep Learning Solutions on Lossless Compression Methods for Alleviating Data Load on Iot Nodes in Smart Cities
    sensors Article The Deep Learning Solutions on Lossless Compression Methods for Alleviating Data Load on IoT Nodes in Smart Cities Ammar Nasif *, Zulaiha Ali Othman and Nor Samsiah Sani Center for Artificial Intelligence Technology (CAIT), Faculty of Information Science & Technology, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi 43600, Malaysia; [email protected] (Z.A.O.); [email protected] (N.S.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Networking is crucial for smart city projects nowadays, as it offers an environment where people and things are connected. This paper presents a chronology of factors on the development of smart cities, including IoT technologies as network infrastructure. Increasing IoT nodes leads to increasing data flow, which is a potential source of failure for IoT networks. The biggest challenge of IoT networks is that the IoT may have insufficient memory to handle all transaction data within the IoT network. We aim in this paper to propose a potential compression method for reducing IoT network data traffic. Therefore, we investigate various lossless compression algorithms, such as entropy or dictionary-based algorithms, and general compression methods to determine which algorithm or method adheres to the IoT specifications. Furthermore, this study conducts compression experiments using entropy (Huffman, Adaptive Huffman) and Dictionary (LZ77, LZ78) as well as five different types of datasets of the IoT data traffic. Though the above algorithms can alleviate the IoT data traffic, adaptive Huffman gave the best compression algorithm. Therefore, in this paper, Citation: Nasif, A.; Othman, Z.A.; we aim to propose a conceptual compression method for IoT data traffic by improving an adaptive Sani, N.S.

  • Coding and Compression
    Chapter 3 Multimedia Systems Technology: Co ding and Compression 3.1 Intro duction In multimedia system design, storage and transport of information play a sig- ni cant role. Multimedia information is inherently voluminous and therefore requires very high storage capacity and very high bandwidth transmission capacity.For instance, the storage for a video frame with 640 480 pixel resolution is 7.3728 million bits, if we assume that 24 bits are used to en- co de the luminance and chrominance comp onents of each pixel. Assuming a frame rate of 30 frames p er second, the entire 7.3728 million bits should b e transferred in 33.3 milliseconds, which is equivalent to a bandwidth of 221.184 million bits p er second. That is, the transp ort of such large number of bits of information and in such a short time requires high bandwidth. Thereare two approaches that arepossible - one to develop technologies to provide higher bandwidth of the order of Gigabits per second or more and the other to nd ways and means by which the number of bits to betransferred can be reduced, without compromising the information content. It amounts to saying that we need a transformation of a string of characters in some representation such as ASCI I into a new string e.g., of bits that contains the same information but whose length must b e as small as p ossible; i.e., data compression. Data compression is often referred to as co ding, whereas co ding is a general term encompassing any sp ecial representation of data that achieves a given goal.

Intro.2: When a software house has a popular product they tend to come up with new versions. A user can update an old version to a new one, and the update usually comes as a compressed file on a floppy disk. Over time the updates get bigger and, at a certain point, an update may not fit on a single floppy. This is why good compression is important in the case of software updates. The time it takes to compress and decompress the update is unimportant since these operations are typically done just once. Recently, software makers have taken to providing updates over the Internet, but even in such cases it is important to have small files because of the download times involved. 1.1: (1) ask a question, (2) absolutely necessary, (3) advance warning, (4) boiling hot, (5) climb up, (6) close scrutiny, (7) exactly the same, (8) free gift, (9) hot water heater, (10) my personal opinion, (11) newborn baby, (12) postponed until later, (13) unexpected surprise, (14) unsolved mysteries. 1.2: A reasonable way to use them is to code the five most-common strings in the text. Because irreversible text compression is a special-purpose method, the user may know what strings are common in any particular text to be compressed. The user may specify five such strings to the encoder, and they should also be written at the start of the output stream, for the decoder’s use.

  • Digital Video Source Encoding Entropy Encoding
    CSE 126 Multimedia Systems P. Venkat Rangan Spring 2003 Lecture Note 4 (April 10) Digital Video The bandwidth required for digital video is staggering. Uncompressed NTSC video requires a bandwidth of 20MByte/sec, HDTV requires 200MByte/sec! Various encoding techniques have been developed in order to make digital video feasible. Two classes of encoding techniques are Source Encoding and Entropy Encoding. Source Encoding Source encoding is lossy and applies techniques based upon properties of the media. There are four types of source encoding: • Sub-band coding gives different resolutions to different bands. E.g. since the human eye is more sensitive to intensity changes than color changes, give the Y component of YUV video more resolution than the U and V components. • Subsampling groups pixels together into a meta-region and encodes a single value for the entire region • Predictive coding uses one sample to guess the next. It assumes a model and sends only differences from the model (error values). • Transform encoding transforms one set of reference planes to another. In the example of vector quantization from last class, we could rotate the axes 45 degrees so that fewer bits could be used to represent values on the U-axis. In this example, instead of using 4 bits to represent the ten possible values of U, we can use 2 bits for the four different values of U'. Entropy Encoding Entropy Encoding techniques are lossless techniques which tend to be simpler than source encoding techniques. The three entropy encoding techniques are: • Run-Length Encoding (RLE) encodes multiple appearances of the same value as {value, # of appearances}.
