A Novel Image Compression Technique Using Modular Algorithm

Jidong Shen

In the practice of predictive image coding, information loss is a problem in the accuracy of representing the prediction residual sequence. This is because the high order of probability distribution requires a huge size of codebook. This paper presents a modular arithmetic based technique for DPCM image compression. By using this algorithm, the length of codewords required by the following entropy coding is necessarily limited to a certain positive integer, the residual sequence is exactly reconstructed from decoder.
