Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) Image Coding

Andrews, H., Patterson, C.·1976·IEEE Transactions on Communications

Abstract

The numerical techniques of transform image coding are well known in the image bandwidth compression literature. This concise paper presents a new transform method in which the singular values and singular vectors of an image are computed and transmitted instead of transform coefficients. The singular value decomposition (SVD) method is known to be the deterministically optimal transform for energy compaction [2]. A systems implementation is hypothesized, and a variety of coding strategies is developed. Statistical properties of the SVD are discussed and a self adaptive set of experimental results is presented, Imagery compressed to 1, 1.5, and 2.5 bits per pixel with less than 1.6, 1, and 1/3 percent, respective mean-square error is displayed. Finally, additional image coding scenarios are postulated for further consideration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
