WAVELET BASED COLOR COMPRESSIONGreg Beranek

BACKGROUND WDR

Significance Pass With threshold T and T2 find item where T2>Item>=T

Encode the Address Encode Plus or Minus

Repeat Refinement Pass

If Item >=T2 Write Refinement

Repeat

ISSUES COLOR WDR Progressive nature

Cannot stop anywhere (missing color component)

Speed 3 Passes 3 Scan orders 3 data matrices

Accounting

RESOLUTION TO COLOR WDR ISSUES Color Correlation (lack of correlation)

Ability to predict significant values Encode more data with one color and get a very

close color when decoding Simplify scan order

COLOR SPACE Primitive Color Spaces

RGB Additive color space Tells how much light is needed to make a specific color

CYM K Subtractive color space Tell what quantity of pigment is needed to make a

specific color Other Color Spaces

YUV YPbPr (YCbCr)

Video and Image Compression Schemes, Analog (Digital)

YCoCg Integer to Integer Color space similar to YPbPr

TRANSFORM MATRIX RGB TO YCOCG Forward - RGB -> YCoCg

Reverse - YCoCg -> RGB

BACK TO COLOR WDR We now have the ability to:

Predict significant color values

Simplify to one scan order

Retain some RGB color information when we stop encoding anywhere
