Sparse optimization with directional DCT bases for image compression

This paper proposes a new compression algorithm based on the directional DCT (DDCT) bases introduced in [1]. We first explain how to extend the DDCT concept to rectangular bases and exploit them to build a set of bases using a bintree segmentation. We then use dynamic programming to select a basis from this set according to a rate-distortion criterion. Comparisons in terms of rate-distortion performance are finally made with the current compression standards JPEG and JPEG2000.
