Low Data-Rate Coding Using Image Primitives
Elias Hanna, Don E. Pearson, John A. Robinson · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1986
We report on some initial attempts to reconstruct a grey-level image starting trom a cartoon or sketch, which is treated as an image primitive. The aim is to code grey-Level images efficiently by using object-related information. It the cartoon is derived t valley detection from the image of a smooth object, samples of the original image taken at the cartoon lines and at a few selected intermediate points contain implicit inrormation about the geometry of the object. Some initial experimental results with (a) simple black-level fill-in, and (b) first-order interpolation have been obtained.
