In this paper, we propose a new adaptive block-based histogram packing for lossless compression of images with sparse and locally sparse histograms. JPEG-LS provides an efficient lossless compression at a reasonable complexity. However, its efficiency is severely affected when encoding images or blocks containing only a subset of the possible values from the nominal alphabet. The aim of this work is to improve the compression performance of JPEG-LS by introducing a preprocessing technique that leads to improvements. Results of its effectiveness are presented.

JPEG 2000 is one of the most efficient and well performing standards for continuous-tone natural images compression. However, a compression performance loss may occur when encoding images with sparse or locallysparsehistograms. Images of the later type include only a subset of the available intensity values implied by the nominal alphabet. This article proposes a new adaptive block-based histogram packing which improves the lossless compression performance of JPEG 2000 with sparse histogram images. We take advantage, in this work, of the strength likelihood between symbol sets of the neighboring image blocks and the efficiency of the offline histogram packing with sparse or locallysparse histogram images. Results of its effectiveness with JPEG 2000 are presented.

We propose a new adaptive block-wise lossless image compression algorithm, which is based on the so-called alphabet reduction scheme combined with an adaptive arithmetic coding (AC). This new encoding algorithm is particularly efficient for lossless compression of images with sparse and locally sparse histograms. AC is a very efficient technique for lossless data compression and produces a rate that is close to the entropy;however, a compression performance loss occurs when encoding images or blocks with a limited number of active symbols by comparison with the number of symbols in the nominal alphabet, which consists in the amplification of the zero frequency problem. Generally, most methods add one to the frequency count of each symbol from the nominal alphabet, which leads to a statistical model distortion, and therefore reduces the efficiency of the AC. The aim of this work is to overcome this drawback by assigning to each image block the smallest possible set including all the existing symbols called active symbols. This is an alternative of using the nominal alphabet when applying the conventional arithmetic encoders. We show experimentally that the proposed method outperforms several lossless image compression encoders and standards including the conventional arithmetic encoders, JPEG2000, and JPEG-LS.
