✦ Synopsis

A novel image compression scheme based on two-dimensional adaptive decimation is reported in this paper. In this approach, images are encoded with adaptive sampling along the horizontal and vertical directions, and decoded with an edge prediction interpolation algorithm. The method is capable of maintaining reasonable coding fidelity at low bit-rate with good visual quality. As only a small amount of computation is required in the encoding and decoding processes, the compression scheme can be implemented for real time operation with simple hardware and a small amount of memory storage. The proposed scheme had been applied in encoding images at bit-rates between 0.2 and 0.33 bpp and the results are encouraging.
