Abstract
JPEG2000 offers the technique which compresses the interested regions with higher quality than the background. It is called by an ROI(Region-of-Interest) coding method. In this paper, we use images including the human faces, which are processed uppermost and compressed with high quality. The proposed method consists of 2 steps. The first step extracts some faces and the second one is ROI coding. To extract the faces, the method cuts or scale-downs some regions with $20{\times}20$ window pixels for all the pixels of the image, and after preprocessing, recognizes the faces using neural networks. Each extracted region is identified by ROI mask and then ROI-coded using Maxshift method. After then, the image is compressed and saved using EBCOT. The existing methods searched the ROI by edge distributions. On the contrary, the proposed method uses human intellect. And the experiment shows that the method is sufficiently useful with images having several human faces.
