Learning-based image compression methods have improved in recent years and started to outperform traditional codecs. However, neural-network approaches can unexpectedly introduce visual artifacts in some images. We therefore propose methods…
This paper describes a novel method of encrypting wave files in popular image formats like JPEG, TIF and PNG along with retrieving them from these image files. MATLAB software is used to perform matrix manipulation to encrypt and decrypt…
JPEG is the most popular image format, which is widely used in our daily life. Therefore, reversible data hiding (RDH) for JPEG images is important. Most of the RDH schemes for JPEG images will cause significant distortions and large file…
Currently, there is a high demand for neural network-based image compression codecs. These codecs employ non-linear transforms to create compact bit representations and facilitate faster coding speeds on devices compared to the hand-crafted…
Compression plays a significant role in a data storage and a transmission. If we speak about a generall data compression, it has to be a lossless one. It means, we are able to recover the original data 1:1 from the compressed file.…
We propose a novel JPEG XT image compression with hue compensation for two-layer HDR coding. LDR images produced from JPEG XT bitstreams have some distortion in hue due to tone mapping operations. In order to suppress the color distortion,…
Supervised pixel-based texture classification is usually performed in the feature space. We propose to perform this task in (dis)similarity space by introducing a new compression-based (dis)similarity measure. The proposed measure utilizes…
Most data is automatically collected and only ever "seen" by algorithms. Yet, data compressors preserve perceptual fidelity rather than just the information needed by algorithms performing downstream tasks. In this paper, we characterize…
In this work we focus on the problem of colorization for image compression. Since color information occupies a large proportion of the total storage size of an image, a method that can predict accurate color from its grayscale version can…
Hyperspectral images, which record the electromagnetic spectrum for a pixel in the image of a scene, often store hundreds of channels per pixel and contain an order of magnitude more information than a typical similarly-sized color image.…
Large language models (LLMs) and their multimodal variants can now process visual inputs, including images of text. This raises an intriguing question: can we compress textual inputs by feeding them as images to reduce token usage while…
