DCT/DST alternate-transform image coding

An image coding method for low bit rates is proposed. It is based on alternate use of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and the discrete sine transform (DST) on image blocks. This procedure achieves the removal of redundancies in the correlation between neighboring blocks as well as the preservation of continuity across the block boundaries. An outline of the mathematical justification of the method, assuming a certain first-order Gauss-Markov model, is given. The resulting coding method is then adapted to nonstationary real images by locally adapting the model parameters and improving the block classification technique. Simulation results are shown and compared with the performance of related previous methods, namely adaptive DCT and fast Karhunen-Loeve transform (FKLT). >
