In this paper, a residual image coding scheme for stereo image compression is presented. With standard block matching method, the residualimage is obtained first. For each residual block, an initial vector space, which contains the blocks alongside its matched block and a subset of edge blocks, is constructed. Then, a set of orthogonal basis vectors is selected one by one so that the residual block can be represented by a linear combination of them. Experimental results show that comparing with the widely used DCT based scheme, the proposed method significantly reduce the number of coefficients.

An emerging feature of multimedia and tele-presence systems is stereo imagery. Stereo images provide an enhanced sense of presence, and have been found to be operationally useful in tasks requiring remote manipulation or judgment of spatial relationships. A conventional stereo system with a single left-right pair needs twice the raw data as a monoscopic imaging system. A multi-view stereo system may require hundreds of times as much. As a result there has been increasing attention given to image compression methods specialized to stereo pairs. Most of this work has focused on disparity-compensated residualcoding where one view is used to predict another, and the difference is coded. Much of this work has concentrated on improving the disparity compensation process and codes the residualimage similarly to a monoscopic image. As this paper will show, the disparity-compensated residualimage differs in important ways from a conventional monoscopic image. The residualimage has different correlation characteristics, and is composed primarily of strong vertical-direction edge components surrounded by large areas of near zero intensity. This paper demonstrates these properties, both theoretically and experimentally, and outlines how they might be exploited in designing compression algorithms. Other papers demonstrate that greater than 2 dB improvement is possible when exploiting such characteristics for stereo image compression. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Stereo image compression is of growing interest because of new display technologies and the needs of telepresence systems, Compared to monoscopic image compression, stereo image compression has received much less attention. A variety of algorithms have appeared in the literature that make use of the cross-view redundancy in the stereo pair. Many of these use the framework of disparity-compensated residualcoding, but concentrate on the disparity compensation process rather than the post compensation coding process. This paper studies specialized coding methods for the residualimage produced by disparity compensation. The algorithms make use of theoretically expected and experimentally observed characteristics of the disparity-compensated stereo residual to select transforms and quantization methods. Performance is evaluated on mean squared error (MSE) and a stereo-unique metric based on image registration. Exploiting the directional characteristics in a discrete cosine transform (DCT) framework provides its best performance below 0.75 b/pixel for 8-b gray-scale imagery and below 2 b/pixel for 23-b color imagery, Ln the wavelet algorithm, roughly a 50% reduction in bit rate is possible by encoding only the vertical channel, where much of the stereo information is contained. The proposed algorithms do not incur substantial computational burden beyond that needed for any disparity-compensated residual algorithm.

One form of multimedia finding increasing utility in factory automation Is stereo imaging, Its uses include remote operation, telepresence, and object positioning, Stereo imaging, with doubled frames, requires high data-rate collection and transmission, image compression techniques can be utilized to reduce the transmission bandwidth and/or storage space requirements of the stereo pair, This paper develops image compression techniques specific to stereo imaging and compares performance with nonstereo methods. Disparity compensated residual image coding exploits the redundancy between the tno images in a stereo pair, Stereo residuals possess special features that can be exploited within a discrete cosine transform (DCT) imagecoding framework. Use of these features results in several decibels of performance enhancement across a range of scene types. This approach provides its best performance below 0.75 b/pixel bitrate for 8-b grayscale imagery and below 2 b/pixel for 24-b color imagery.

Stereo image compression is of growing interest because of new display technologies and the needs of telepresence systems. A variety of algorithms have appeared in the literature that make use of the framework of block-based disparity estimation and disparity-compensated residualcoding. which is similar to the monoscopic image framework. So that it has several drawbacks, for example, blocking artifacts. In this paper, a novel adaptive DT mesh based stereoscopic imagecoding algorithm is proposed. The algorithm makes use of adaptive DT mesh to estimate disparity vectors, and EZDCT based residual image coding. The algorithm is performed in three steps: adaptive DT description for the reference image. disparity, vector estimation based mesh and simple occluded regions detection, and disparity vector and residual image coding. Much of this work concentrates on improving the veracity of disparity estimation using DT mesh model and encoding the residualimage appropriately. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves higher veracity of disparity estimation at least 10%, as compared to conventional algorithms. And compared with conventional compression algorithms, the algorithm improves average PSNR about 1 db. Especially at low bit rates, this algorithm achieves better perceptual quality of decoded image. as compared to a block-based coding scheme.

In this paper, we present a novel video coding system, where the motion estimation, residual image coding and initial/refresh frame coding are integrated using an HVS-based segmentation (region) technique. The Region-based Motion estimation Algorithm (RMA) estimates motion vectors by matching regions rather than blocks. Region-based residual image coding (RRC) approximates the residual contents with the regions' mean intensities. To obtain faithful initial/refresh frames while keeping the bit-rate low, a Region-based Two-pass initial frame coding technique (RTC) is demonstrated: 0.6 bpp for SALESMAN and 0.3 bpp for CLAIRE with good image quality. In addition to encoding the Region match predicted residualimages (RRI). the proposed residual image coding algorithm is also applied to BMA predicted residualimages (BRI), and their performances are compared. It is found that the proposed RRC performs better with RMA residuals for image sequences with simpler contents such as CLAIRE;and that RRC performs better with BMA residuals for image sequences with more complex contents like SALESMAN. In any case, the proposed segmentation based residualcoding technique is proven to be effective on both BMA and RMA residuals.
