  • Bijective BWT (7 Comments)

    David Scott has written a bijective BWT transform, which brings all the advantages of bijectiveness to BWT based compressors. Among other things, making BWT more suitable for compression-before-encryption and also give (slightly) better compression.

  • Asymmetric Binary System (113 Comments)

    Jarek Duda’s “Asymmetric Binary System” promises to be an alternate to arithmetic coding, having all the advantages, but being much simpler. Matt has coded a PAQ based compressor using ABS for back-end encoding. Update: Andrew Polar has written an alternate implementation of ABS.

  • Precomp: More Compression for your Compressed Files (3 Comments)

    So many of today’s files are already compressed (using old, outdated algorithms) that newer algorithms don’t even get a chance to touch them. Christian Schneider’s Precomp comes to rescue by undoing the harm.

  • On2 Technologies is Hiring

    There aren’t too many companies working on cutting edge codecs, and of those few this one is hiring. Best of luck.

  • China’s AVS Specifications Available (2 Comments)

    Its old news that China has developed their own Advanced Video Standard to avoid high licensing fees. English translation of the standard is now available, along with the IPR policy. Finally something technical that you can get your hands on to feed your appetite.

A Novel Approach to Improve the Performance of JPEG2000

The aim of this paper is to improve the performances of the JPEG2000. In fact, our approach named PJPEG2000 consists in inserting a phase of pretreatment before initiating the JPEG2000 process. This investigation allows better quality compression. When compressing images, noise is fatal to compression performance, it can be both annoying for the observer and make transmission of the imagery consume excessive amounts of bandwidth. The pretreatment based on the filtering reduces noise and thus improve both visual impression and transmission properties. The comparison between JPEG2000 and PJPEG2000 shows that the latter is favourable in both PSNR [1] and WPSNR [2] and in visual inspection evaluation.
