In this paper, a realization of a subband coding with TMS320C80 is studied. TMS320C80 is a multi-media processor specially designed for an image process. A main topic of this paper, as mentioned above, is an application of TMS320C80 to subband coding. Subband coding is the coding that devides full image to several subbands and encodes each subband with different coding methods. As using that methods, good image compression can be obtained. First above all, goal of this paper deals with TMS320C80 in coding still image and useds it in expending it's application to 3-D video coding.

In this paper, a subband coding scheme using the human visual system(HVS) model for encoding monochrome images is proposed to produce perceptually higher quality images compared with the regular subband coding scheme. The proposed approach first transforms the intensity image to the density image by a point nonlinear transformation. A frequency band dexomposition of the density image is carried out by means of 2-D seaprable quadrature mirror filters, which split the density image spectrum into 16 equall rate subbands. Bits are allocated among the subbands to minimize the weighted mean squar error (WMSE) for differential pulse code modulation(DPCM) coding of the subbands. The weight for each subband is calculated from the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the HVS model at corresponding frequencies. The performances of the proposed approach are evaluated for 256 * 256 monochrome images at the bit rates of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 bita per pixel. Computer simulation results indicate that using the HVS model yields more pleasing reconstructed images than regular subband coding approach which does not use HVS model.

In this paper, we propose a subband pyramid image coding scheme that uses ECVQ (ntropy Constrained Vector Quantizer). In subband pyramid image coding, each subband can be encoded with a coder matched to the statistics of that particular subband, and available versions of the original image at different resolution are easily obtained. ECVQ, aiming at the minimization of the distortion for a fixed entropy of the quantizer output, is well combined with the subband pyramid image coding which yields high compression ratio and good image quality. The optimum bit allocation to each subbands corresponds to the points where the individual distortion rate curves are of particular slope, weighted to the number of samples in that subband, in designing ECVQ.

The need for developing effective coding techniques for various multimedia services is increasing in order to meet the demand for image data. In this paper, a zeroblock coding algorithm is proposed for progressive transmission of images. The zeroblock coding algorithm is constructed as an embedded coding so that the encoding and decoding process can be terminated at any point and allowing reasonable image quality. Some features of zeroblock coding algorithm are 1) coding of subband images by prediction of the insignificance of blocks across subband leels, 2) aset of sate transition rules for representing the significance map of blocks, and 3) block coding by vector quantization using a multiband codebook consisting of several subcodebooks dedicated for each subband at a given threshold.

Subband/DCT coding has been introduced in order to transmit images of various resultions using one given image-codec, for nowadays there are various grades of quality in visual communication services. However, subband/DCT results in the increawse of multiplication number and memory size. In order to resolve this problem, we propose block-based subband/DCT coding in this paper. In block-based subband/DCT, the number of multiplications is not only reduced because we combine subband decomposistion with DCT, but the size of memory is also reduced because images can be parallel-processed block by block. We show that the number of multiplications is reduced, by analyzing the property ofblock-based subband/DCT matrix mathematically, and examine the performance of proposed coder, which adopts JPEG as backhand-coder after block-based subband/DCT.

This paper proposes a moving image compression algorithm using subband coding that divides and processes the differential image of each moving image frame into subband frequency. This method decomposes the original image with each subband and performs DCT. The moving blocks are detected from each of wubband using threshold value which is select from the variance of difference between frames. then they are performed SBDCT and huffman coding in order to reduce the data. As the result of simulation, we confirmed that this method improved the blocking effect of reconstructed image in low bit rate.

In 1-D subband coding system, a quadrature mirror filter (QMF) pair can be used to split a signal into two subbands and to reconstruct the original signal. In this paper, a pair of 1-D reconstruction filter for the subband coding system is introduced and a coding technique with classified vector quantization, based on energy distributions, for 16 subband images is presented. As computer simulation results show that the method can give similar perceptual quality with bit rate reduced by $20{\sim}30%$ of that of ordinary vector quantization.

A blocked zerotree coding algorithm for compression of subband image is proposed. Significance of blocks with respect to a certain threshold are coded with a set of transition rules for the significance of blocks. Significant blocks are quantized by vector quantization. The basic idea for this coding approach are: 1) Subband images are coded by blocks, 2) Important blocks based on the significance of blocks are coded and quantized, 3) Multiband codebook which is composed of sub-codebooks dedicated for each threshold and subband level is adapted to produce good reproduction vectors for vector quantization. The compression results are similar to Shapiro's zerotree coding even though ours are obtained without entropy coding of bit streams from blocked zerotree encoder. If an entropy coding is applied to the bitstream, PSNR will be improved.

In this paper, a new nonlinear predictor using general regression neural network(GRNN) is proposed for the subband coding of moving pictures. The performance of a proposed nonlinear predictor is compared with BMA(Block Match Algorithm), the most conventional motion estimation technique. As a result, the nonlinear predictor using GRNN can predict well more 2-3dB than BMA. Specially, because of having a clustering process and smoothing noise signals, this predictor well preserves edges in frames after predicting the subband signal. This result is important with respect of human visual system and is excellent performance for the subband coding of moving pictures.

In this paper, we proposed a lwo bit rate subband coding with adaptive vector quantization using the correlation between motion vector and block energy in subband. In this method, the difference between the input signal and the motion compensated interframe prediction signal is decomposed into several narrow bands using quadrature mirror filter (QMF) structure. The subband signals are then quantized by adaptive vector quantizers. In the codebook generating process, each classified region closer to the block value in the same region after the classification of region by the magnitude of motion vector and the variance values of subband block. Because codebook is genrated considering energy distribution of each region classified by motion vector and variance of subband block, this technique gives a very good visual quality at low bit rate coding.
