Abstract

The processing of images for use in distributed multimedia systems gives rise to several new issues. In this paper, we identify and address some of these issues. We propose a new method of filtering that can be used to simultaneously compress and de-noise an image. We propose an image transmission scheme that uses the multiresolution structure based on multisplines. We show that this scheme is robust to network congestion and cell loss and also has low coding overhead. We include experimental results to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed de-noising algorithm and also of the transmission scheme
