A perceptually tuned subband image coder based on the measure of just-noticeable-distortion profile

Abstract

To maintain high image quality with low bit-rates, an effective coding algorithm should not only remove statistical correlation but also perceptual redundancy from image signals. A subband coding scheme based on estimation and exploitation of just-noticeable-distortion (JND) profile is presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
