Abstract

In this paper we present a novel synthesis of embedded compression and texture recognition. In order to maximize the information content of a transmitted image, a texture recognition and segmentation algorithm is used to identify potential areas of disinterest, and the compression algorithm regionally compresses the image, allocating fewer bits to textured regions. In this method, higher resolution is achieved in areas that potentially are of more interest to a viewer.
