Title
Level-Successive Encoding for Digital Photography
Abstract
We propose a level-successive encoding scheme for the compression of continuous tone images. The compressed bit stream is partitioned into individual segments corre- sponding to successive bits and arranged in order of de- creasing significance of the bits. Bit-plane scalability is achieved by recursively partitioning the image into an LSB bit-plane and remaining higher order bits and encoding the LSB bit-plane using the remaining bits as context. This allows the scheme to achieve excellent compression per- formance by exploiting both spatial and inter-level corre- lations. We compare the proposed scheme with a number of scalable and non-scalable lossless image compression algorithms to benchmark its performance. Results indicate that the level-embedded compression incurs only a small penalty in compression efficiency over conventional loss- less schemes while offering the benefit of easy bit-plane scalability.
