To overcome the limitation of JPEG2000 in image edge preservation
a novel still image compression algorithm called CEBCOT was presented
in which the algorithm was constructed by wavelet-based contourlet transform and embedded block coding with optimized truncation(EBCOT). In the contourlet transform
the Laplacian pyramid transform was replaced by the wavelet transform to obtain non-redundant wavelet-based contourlet transform. The high frequency subband decomposed by the wavelet transform was further decomposed into multiple directional subbands by directional filterbank so as to explain the edge and texture of the image more sparsely. A modified EBCOT coder with code-block partition according to the size of directional subband was adopted to increase the coding performance. Experiments demonstrate that compared to JPEG2000
the edges of the compressed images obtained by our proposed algorithm are clearer
the peak signal-noise ratio is increased by 0.1 dB to 0.8 dB.
