Title and abstract for

Theory and Practice of Wavelet compression

Given by Czeslaw Jedrzejek, Tomasz Major at Rome Lab Quarterly Review for CIV on June 28 96. Foils prepared 23 February 97
This is a SINGLE file Containing all Foils in nonIMAGE (i.e. HTML) form
This contains all WebWisdom links preceded by those referenced in this foilset
This contains an Index of Foilset Suitable for Printing (There is no easy way of Printing all foils -- just the index)
This just contains Title of Foilset and Links

This covers both basic Theory and NPAC projects with examples
Wavelet compression activity: goals
Compression of still images:
improving quality for fixed bitrate
decreasing encoding time (currently encoding still image takes 2 seconds on SGI Challenge; similar problem exists for DCT like H.263 based systems - currently no real-time encoding exists in software)
parallelizing: decomposition, quantization and arithmetic coding (important in view of emergence of multiprocessor PentiumPro systems)
Compression of video:
we verified that motion estimation in wavelet space does not work
plan: hybrid video method
Web and other functionalities:
progressive still image plug-in (implemented)
in progress - zoom, local window, chroma key
plans: transparency, pre- and post-processing, access key file protection, error recovery
