Abstract :
An efficient image compression/decompression technique for complex scenes is presented. An image is first decorrelated by a full two-dimensional DCT (discrete cosine transform). The resulting coefficient map is weighted using properties of the human visual system and finally encoded with a novel multiresolution encoder. The result is converted into printable ASCII for transmission by electronic mail
