Abstract

A simple and efficient method for lossy colour image compression is proposed. Here, the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is applied to the YCbCr image obtained from the original RGB image. The bisection method is used to define the required threshold for a prefixed user peak signal to noise ratio as a controlled quality criterion. The thresholded and quantised DCT coefficients are encoded with a new technique. The proposed technique uses the difference of the indexes of the retained coefficients in coordination with DCT block adaptive scanning to encode efficiently the coefficients. The difference of the indexes is stored in a lookup table called (dLUT). When compared with recent methods, the obtained results show that the proposed algorithm achieves high performance.
