Q2. What is the technique for encoding still images?
Zerotree-style techniques such as Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT [7]) by Said and Pearlman offer excellent compression performance for still images.
Q3. What is the way to perform a mixed image transform?
This transform consists of a Haar transform ofTlevels for occluded blocks and a DCT for others with the DCT coefficients regrouped into the wavelet subbands to line up with the Haar-transformed coefficients.
Q4. What is the way to compute the low and high frequency coefficients?
Note that the Haar transform only uses two neighboring pixels to compute the low and high frequency coefficients, then moves on to the next pair.
Q5. What is the way to encode a DCT?
if the DCT coefficients are regrouped into a wavelet decomposition style subband structure as proposed in [14], and are encoded using an embedded coder, the performance approaches that of wavelet based methods (this method is referred to as Embedded Zerotree DCT (EZDCT)) .
Q6. What is the way to terminate embedded image coders?
Embedded image coders can be terminated at any bitrate and still yield the best reconstruction to that rate without a priori opti-mization.
Q7. What is the way to compute the Haar transform?
This process creates a mixed residual image, with some parts having mostly edges and high frequency information, and other parts blocks from the original image.
Q8. What is the way to capture the differences between blocks?
Based on this observation the authors focus on block-based transformsthat could better capture the differences between the blocks than a global transform, such as the wavelet transform, that sweeps across the block boundaries.
Q9. What is the way to perform a Haar transform?
If ( , the block size is even, starting at the left edge of the block, the Haar transform can be performed without having to include pixels from outside the block for the computation of Haar-wavelet coefficients for all pixels in the block.
Q10. What is the difference between the two methods?
Mixed transform coding significantly outperforms both independent and JPEG-style coding with a gain of about T dB over the JPEG-style encoding.
