Abstract
This paper presents a new scalable locally adaptive resolution lossless low-complexity (LAR-LLC) image codec. It is based on the LAR framework that is a multiresolution compression method supporting both lossy and lossless coding. To achieve an efficient low-complexity solution, each processing stage of the LAR is modified. For the first step, consisting of a pyramidal decomposition, a new reversible transform called hierarchical diagonal $S$ transform (HD-ST) is proposed. The HD-ST operates on sets of data pairs, requiring only shift and add/sub operations. The second step performs the prediction of the transformed coefficients. The prediction scheme considers both inter- and intra-level information, and involves fixed weights. Then, a classification process is introduced to separate prediction errors into subclasses, using a context modeling approach. Finally, each subclass is coded by the Huffman coding algorithm. The results of the lossless compression experiments showed that LAR-LLC achieves the same compression performance as JPEG2000 with a lower complexity.
