A Survey of Image Compression Techniques and their Performance in Noisy Environments
This is a ARMY RESEARCH LAB ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A409623. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: In the effort to digitize the battlefield, one of the most difficult capabilities to provide is the reliable transmission of imagery across the data links available. The most severe obstacles occur at low echelons, where the communication link is provided by combat net radios. The low-bandwidth, noisy nature of this physical channel represents the most serious challenge to implementation of the digital battlefield of the future. These channels make the compression of any imagery a requirement for timely transmission. In this paper, we explore the effects of noise on a variety of image compression techniques - namely, fractal, wavelet, DPCM, and the most recent compression standard for still imagery, JPEG version 6. Methods for minimizing the effects of the noisy channel on algorithm performance are also considered.
