Abstract: Embodiments of a color video coding and decoding scheme are disclosed. In one embodiment, an efficient color coding scheme for color video using three dimensional (3-D) discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) employing correlation among different color components is described. At least one of the color components is coded, and an adjustment to at least some of the remaining color components relative to the coded color component are then coded. This adjustment comprises a partial error adjustment based at least in part on a ratio of color components intensities. Other embodiments, for instance for decoding, are described and claimed.

Abstract: A computer system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a program to cause the processor to provide wavelet coefficients that indicate an image. The processor represent each wavelet coefficient as a collection of ordered bits, and the processor codes the bits of each order to indicate zerotree roots that are associated with the order.

Abstract: Embodiments of a three-dimensional wavelet transform are described. An inverse three-dimensional discrete wavelet transformation (IDWT) is applied to a plurality of transformed video image sub-blocks. The sub-blocks of transformed video images are inverse transformed by applying a bit-based conditional decoding to the embedded zero tree encoded DWT coefficients of the block to obtain a DWT coefficient matrix, up-sampling respective sub-blocks of the DWT coefficient matrix by row, column and frame, filtering and combining one or more respective pairs of up-sampled sub-blocks to produce an up-sampled sub-block corresponding to each respective pair, reapplying the filtering and combining step to any produced up-sampled sub-block pairs until one up-sampled sub-block remains and multiplying the one remaining up-sampled sub-block by eight to produce a block at the next higher resolution.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a method of compressing a color image includes the following. The wavelet transform of each of the respective color planes of the color image is computed. One of the respective wavelet transformed color plane frames is encoded. For the other two respective wavelet transformed color plane frames, a prediction coefficient from at least one of subbands of each color plane thereof is computed. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, a method of decompressing a compressed color image includes the following. The compressed color image includes at least an encoded frame for one color plane of the color image and prediction coefficients for the other two color plane frames of the color image. The one color plane frame of the color image is reconstructed from the encoded frame. The other two color plane frames of the color image are at least partially reconstructed from the reconstructed one color plane frame and the prediction coefficients.
