English

Subject field(s)
  • Systems Analysis (Information Processing)
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

Vector quantization is a generalization of the scalar quantization method... It is used for both image and audio compression. In practice, vector quantization is commonly used to compress data that has been digitized from an analog source, such as audio samples and scanned images.

DEF

Technique de quantification souvent utilisée dans la compression de données avec pertes de données [...] pour laquelle l'idée de base est de coder ou de remplacer par une clé des valeurs d'un espace vectoriel multidimensionnel vers des valeurs d'un sous-espace discret de plus petite dimension.

Although real motion video is the holy grail of multimedia, it still is impractical using today's technology. The current method for working with video is by capturing and converting the analog signal from a video source and either manipulating the image's data(which is written to video tape) or compressing the data using compression techniques(either software-only compression or a combination of hardware and software compression). To display or capture a single screen of an NTSC signal, you must have a video frame grabber. These are lowest on the rungs of the video ladder, in that they have less capability than boards that capture streaming video. These cards enable you to grab a single frame of video from a Laser Disk or a VCR. Video frame grabbers come in two varieties : single-frame capture and real-time capture. Single-frame capture boards enable you to freeze a selected frame and record it to your hard disk. In this function, single-frame boards are similar to scanners-they provide a means of capturing an image and saving it for use in a multimedia title.

Video compression ratios available from various vendors of full-motion video boards range up to 160 : 1 and perform adequately on standalone multimedia desktop platforms transmitting image data from CD-ROM or videodisk peripherals. However, these compression ratios will not be sufficient for effective transmission of complex videos and renderings that are being produced by engineering designers or even simpler videos in highly interactive multiuser networked environments. The solution, however, is already on the horizon in the form of fractional dimensional compression techniques(fractals) that can reach astonishing compression ratios of 10, 000 : 1. This is possible because fractals, despite their apparent complexity, have a very low information content and can be specified as relatively simple expressions. Fractal compression is obtained via mathematical functions that describe a sequence of transformations of an image and when applied repeatedly, converge on a unique fractal. Fractal compression algorithms can be incorporated in software or VLSI microchips and, if applied to a typical CD-ROM disk, should provide nearly seven hours of full-motion.

Le principe de la compression fractale réside dans la recherche de formes ou de motifs répétitifs dans une image, et dans le codage mathématique sous forme d'équations de ces motifs. Il est également possible de définir et d'exploiter des bibliothèques de motifs, afin d'améliorer la compression sur des séries d'images identiques.

... the Mac, through QuickTime, shrinks the video image to a small size(160 X 120 pixels) to reduce the amount of video data required for each frame of video.... QuickTime also provides users with a variety of compressors for specific types of files-still images, video, animation, and so on. These compressors allow you to reduce your QuickTime clips’ file size, which can get enormous(the average uncompressed file size of our 30-second test clip was 16 megabytes). The compressors employ spatial compression to reduce the file size of each individual frame and temporal compression to reduce the amount of data repeated across a group of frames.

Fractal Image Compression is about the mathematical ideas that lie behind the photographs and other pictures on Encarta. They are all fractals! They are stored as highly compressed data files produced using fractal image compression. Fractal image compression involves three basic mathematical modeling problems. The required models are [:] a mathematical model for real world image, a model for approximating model images by means of resolution independent image approximants, which must be described by finite data strings, and a computationally tractable model for the sources of the data strings, to enable the application of information theory to provide efficient representation of the image approximants.

Suppression automatique de tous les octets superflus dans une image numérisée, à l'aide d'algorithmes fractals qui combinent la théorie de l'information et la perception visuelle pour décrire des formes compliquées au moyen de formules très simples. Le stockage de ces formules permet la reconstruction par itération des images de départ.

OBS

Les images codées en formules fractales ont un taux de compression de 70:1 et sont reconstruites sans aucune détérioration. Or, au-delà d'un taux de l0:1, les techniques habituelles risquent fort de nuire à la reconstruction de l'image. Technique déjà appliquée avec succès à la compression d'images sismiques en utilisant un algorithme fractal inspiré de la courbe de Peano. Voir les travaux récents de M. Barnsley.
