Abstract
A simple yet efficient image data compression method is presented in this paper. This method is based on coding only those segments of the image that are perceptually significant to the reconstruction of the image. Sequences of image pixels whose gray level differences from the pixels of the previous row exceed two prespecified thresholds are considered significant. These pixels are coded using a DPCM scheme with recursively indexed nonuniform quantizers. Simulation results show that this scheme can get subjectively satisfactory reconstructed images at low bit rates. It is also computationally very simple which makes it amenable to fast implementation.
