Prediction based on Boolean filters for multiresolution lossless image compression

Abstract

In this paper Boolean filters and a variation of these, FIR-Boolean hybrid filters are proposed for realizing the prediction stages of a multiresolution lossless image compression structure. Optimal and adaptive Boolean filters are used for prediction and the proposed predictors performance is compared to the performance of other lossless multiresolution methods: the hierarchical interpolation scheme (HINT) and the S+P transform.
