Dyadic Wavelet Transform for Image Compression

The document discusses using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for image compression. It explains that the DWT converts an image into wavelets that can be stored more efficiently than pixel blocks. It describes how the image is divided into tiles and each tile is decomposed into different frequency subbands using the DWT. This decomposition process is repeated on the low-resolution image blocks in a dyadic decomposition. Lifting-based filtering is also discussed as part of the DWT implementation.

MINI PROJECT ABSTRACT

DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM FOR IMAGE COMPRESSION

Wavelet compression converts the image into a series of wavelets that can be stored more efficiently than pixel blocks. The source image is partitioned into rectangular non-overlapping blocks in a process called tiling Each tile can be thought of as an array of integers in sign-magnitude representation. Each tile component is then decomposed using the DWT into a series of decomposition levels which each contain a number of sub bands. These sub bands contain coefficients that describe the horizontal and vertical characteristics of the original tile component. This process of applying the one-dimensional filters in both directions is then repeated a number of times on the low-resolution image block. This procedure is called dyadic decomposition An example of dyadic decomposition into sub bands with the whole image treated as one tile is shown in Figure.

To perform the forward DWT, a one-dimensional sub band is decomposed into a set of low-pass samples and a set of high-pass samples. Low-pass samples represent a smaller low-resolution version of the original. The high-pass samples represent a smaller residual version of the original; this is needed for a perfect reconstruction of the original set from the low-pass set.

Lifting-based filtering is done by updating odd sample values with a weighted sum of even sample values, and updating even sample with a weighted sum of odd sample values. For the lossless case the results are rounded to integer values. The lifting-based filtering for the 5/3 analysis filter is achieved by using (2) and (3) below For the lossless case the results are rounded to integer values. The lifting-based filtering for the 5/3 analysis filter is achieved by using (2) and (3) below:

x (2n) x ext (2n 2) y(2n 1) x ext (2n 1) ext 2 x (2n 1) x ext (2n 1) 2 y(2n ) x ext (2n) ext 4
where xext is the extended input signal, y is the output signal.

The wavelet transform implementations require the whole image to be buffered and the filtering operation to be performed in vertical and horizontal directions.
