Image compression using Boltzmann machines
Ying Liu · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1993
In this paper, the idea of image compression using the Boltzmann machines will be developed. We will first introduces (theta) -transformation and show it is complete for a certain class of images. Then we will show that the Boltzmann machine can implement the first few terms in the (theta) -transformation; therefore, the Boltzmann machines can be used as image encoders. The compression ratio and distortion of this new image compression method are discussed.
