Abstract
A progressive image transmission scheme based on iterative transform coding structure is proposed for application in interactive image communication over low-bandwidth channels. The scheme not only provides progressive transmission, but also guarantees lossless reproduction combined with a degree of compression. The image to be transmitted undergoes an orthogonal transform, and the transform coefficients are quantized (scalar or vector) before transmission. The novelty is that the residual error array due to quantization is iteratively fedback and requantized (scalar or vector); the coded residual error information is progressively transmitted and utilized in reconstructing the successive approximations. It is shown that the average reconstruction error variance converges to zero as the number of iterative stages approaches infinity. In practice, lossless reproduction can be achieved with a small number of iterations by using an entropy coder on the final residual-error image. Computer simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
