This paper presents a lossy image compression scheme that employs a generalized rank-ordered prediction filter for pyramidal image coding. The proposed prediction method renders significantly reduced variance of the quantizer input. Consequently, the quality of the decompressed image is much enhanced due to the greatly reduced quantization distortion. Both analytical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme yields high-quality performance.
