A Computationally Efficient Switching Based Lossless Compression Algorithm for Natural Images

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new image lossless compression technique for natural images. The proposed algorithm uses the switching of existing Edge Directed Prediction algorithm and gradient Adaptive Predictor (GAP ) methods. The proposed algorithm is a switching based algorithm and the criteria of switching are based upon the adaptive threshold. We know that EDP has higher computational complexity due to the estimation of LS (Least Square ) based paramter whereas GAP has relatively lower computational complexity. So, in order to reduce the computational complexity we had made a hybrid combination of EDP and GAP Method which the proposed algorithm is a generic algorithm and it produces the best results in different varieties of images in terms of both compression ratio and computational complexity.
