A computational verb image compression algorithm

Abstract

In this paper, the pixel values of a gray-scale digital image are represented row-wisely, column-wisely and squarely as computational verbs. Eight standard computational verbs are chosen to encode local sequences of pixel values based on computational verb similarities. Compression ratios near 11 : 1 and 21 : 1 are achieved in the examples presented. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the spatial computational verbs for verb image compression.
