A Novel Non-Uniform BTC and its Application
Yuan Wei, Kin Tak U · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
In this paper, a novel image representation coding based on non-uniform Block Truncation Coding (BTC) is proposed. A given image can automatically be partitioned into different regions with different sizes and the bivariate piecewise polynomials are used to do the Least Square Approximation for the pixel values in each sub-region based on BTC bitmap. When the approximation error and initial partition are specified, a specific image partition result is obtained. The image re-construction quality of the proposed algorithm is better than that of the traditional BTC. Based on this algorithm, an effective denoising scheme of image is implemented and some of the experimental examples are illustrated to prove that the quality of the re-constructed image, the denoising effect are all satisfactory and can be referenced by other researchers.
