A novel subband DCT image coding
Yuk‐Hee Chan, Wan-Chi Siu · 1991
In transform image coding an image is usually divided into subimages before processing. Though a smaller size subimage is efficient for computation, it introduces blocking effect. However, an increase in subimage size results in an increase in both storage and computational requirements. The authors propose an efficient coding approach to simulate a full-size DCT image coding with subband decomposition technique in such a way that only a small increase in storage is required. Compared with the conventional DCT transform coding, this coding technique has the advantages of no blocking effect; higher quality reconstructed images; and less computational effort required. >
