Based on the matching pursuit approach, it is characterized by a reduced computational complexity benefiting from two major modifications. First, it iteratively finds an approximation by selecting M atoms instead of one at a time. Second, the inner product computations are confined within only a fraction of dictionary atoms at each iteration. The modifications are implemented very efficiently due to the spatial incoherence of the dictionary. Experimental results show that compared with full search matching pursuit, the proposed algorithm achieves a speed-up gain of 14.4-36.7 times while maintaining the approximation quality.展开更多

The salient features of this algorithm are the ways to form and locate the significant clusters. Thanks to the list structure, the new coding algorithm achieves fine fractional bit-plane coding with negligible additional complexity. Experiments show that it performs comparably or better than the state-of-the-art coders. Furthermore, the flexible codec supports both quality and resolution scalability, which is very attractive in many network applications.展开更多
