Abstract

Video halftoning is a key technology for use in the innovative display - electronic paper (e-paper). Since e-paper is power-limited, halftone video compression becomes an emerging issue but is still relatively unexplored. In this paper, this issue is addressed and a novel halftone video compression scheme is proposed. Our scheme is mainly composed of three components: block decomposition, block-based halftone quantization, and source coding. We evaluate the proposed method via lossless halftone video compression comparison with the famous standard, JBIG2. In addition, we demonstrate the rate-distortion performance of the proposed lossy halftone video compression method.
