An Efficient Progressive Image Transmission Scheme for Chinese Calligraphy

We invented a progressive image transmission scheme that is used for transmitting Chinese calligraphy. The scheme employs the property of simple colors of calligraphy images to design a method of transmitting images phase by phase. Overall, our scheme can achieve the following two goals. One is compressing the image data to reduce the transmission time while the other is gaining less response time by using progressive image transmission. Furthermore, the recovered image still maintains the colors of the seals with high image quality.
