  1. Losslessy Compression of Multimedia Data Hao Jiang Computer Science Department Sept. 25, 2007

  2. Lossy Compression • Apart from lossless compression, we can further reduce the bits to represent media data by discarding “unnecessary” information. • Media such as image, audio and video can be “modified” without seriously affecting the perceived quality. • Lossy multimedia data compression standards include JPEG, MPEG, etc.

  3. Methods of Discarding Information • Reducing resolution Original image 1/2 resolution and zoom in

  4. Reduce pixel color levels Original image ½ color levels

  5. For audios and videos we can similarly reduce the sampling rate, the sample levels, etc. • These methods usually introduce large distortion. Smarter schemes are necessary! 2.3bits/pixel (JPEG)

  6. Distortion • Distortion: the amount of difference between the encoded media data and the original one. • Distortion measurement • Mean Square Error (MSE) mean( ||xorg – xdecoded||2) • Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) SNR = 10log10 (Signal_Power)/(MSE) (dB) • Peak Signal to Noise Ratio PSNR = 10log10(255^2/MSE) (dB)

  7. The Relation of Rate and Distortion • The lowest possible rate (average codeword length per symbol) is correlated with the distortion. Bit Rate H 0 D_max D

  8. Quantization • Maps a continuous or discrete set of values into a smaller set of values. • The basic method to “throw away” information. • Quantization can be used for both scalars (single numbers) or vectors (several numbers together). • After quantization, we can generate a fixed length code directly.

  9. Uniform Scalar Quantization Assume x is in [xmin, xmax]. We partition the interval uniformly into N nonoverlapping regions. Quantization step D =(xmax-xmin)/N xmin xmax Quantization value Decision boundaries A quantizer Q(x) maps x to the quantization value in the region where x falls in.

  10. Quantization Example Q(x) = [floor(x/D) + 0.5] D Q(x)/ D 2.5 1.5 0.5 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 x/D -0.5 -1.5 -2.5 Midrise quantization

  11. Quantization Example Q(x) = [round(x/D)] D Q(x)/ D 3 2 1 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 x/D -1 -2 -3 Midrise quantization

  12. Quantization Error • To minimize the possible maximum error, the quantization value should be at the center of each decision interval. • If x randomly occurs, Q(x) is uniformly distributed in [-D/2, D/2] Quantization error xn+1 xn x Quantization value

  13. Quantization and Codewords 001 010 011 100 101 000 xmin xmax Each quantization value can be associated with a binary codeword. In the above example, the codeword corresponds to the index of each quantization value.

  14. Another Coding Scheme • Gray code 000 001 011 010 110 111 xmin xmax • The above codeword is different in only 1bit • for each neighbors. • Gray code is more resistant to bit errors than the • natural binary code.

  15. Bit Assignment • If the # of quantization interval is N, we can use log2(N) bits to represent each quantized value. • For uniform distributed x, The SNR of Q(x) is proportional to 20log(N) = 6.02n, where N=2n dB About 6db gain 1 more bit bits

  16. Non-uniform Quantizer • For audio and visual, the tolerance of a distortion is proportional to the signal size. • So, we can make quantization step D proportional to the signal level. • If signal is not uniformly distributed, we also prefer non-uniform quantization. Perceived distortion ~ D / s 0

  26. Transform Coding • A proper transform focuses the energy into small number of numbers. • We can then quantize these values differently and achieve high compression ratio. • Useful transforms in compressing multimedia data: • Fourier Transform • Discrete Cosine Transform
