摘要： A method for image compression of a set of image data includes performing a quantization operation on the image data. The quantization operation may include controlling a compression factor by applying a scaled quantization level obtained by multiplying a first quantization level by a gain factor. The gain factor may be updated as a function of a bit per pixel value of a compressed image. The update operation may include an iterative procedure including at least one iteration step that provides for updating a current gain factor as a function of a previous gain used for performing a previous compression step and as a function of a ratio of the bit per pixel value of the compressed image at the previous compression step to a target bit per pixel value. The method may be used in Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) image processing and digital still cameras.

摘要： For each color channel, the process includes gathering Bayer pattern pixel values by pairs, each pair being composed by two successive pixels belonging to the channel along the scanning direction of the pixels of the image, thus each pair of values representing a current input vector, and calculating a predictor vector of the input vector in terms of the differences between the values defining the input vector and a pair of prediction values generated according to a certain criterion, for representing a prediction error. The process further includes quantizing each so calculated predictor vector according to a heavier or lighter degree of quantization depending on whether the predictor vector is representative of an area of relatively uniform color of the image or of an area of relatively abrupt changes of colors of the image, and generating a multibit code representative of the quantized predictor vector of the input vector according to a certain compression ratio.
