Summary :

This paper introduces a new image representation method that is named the projective image representation (PIR). We consider an image as a collage of symmetric segments each of which can be well represented by its projection data of a single orientation. A quadtree-based method is adopted to decompose an image into variable sized segments according to the complexity within it. Also, we deal with the application of the PIR to the image compression and propose an efficient algorithm, the quadtree-structured projection vector quantization (QTPVQ) which combines the PIR with the VQ. As the VQ is carried out on the projection data instead of the pixel intensities of the segment, the QTPVQ successfully overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional VQ algorithms such as the blocking artifact and the difficulty in manipulating the large dimension. Above all, the QTPVQ improves the subjective quality greatly, especially at low bit rate, which makes it applicable to low bit rate image coding.
