The Multilevel Fuzzy Transform technique (MF-tr) is a hierarchical image compression method based on Fuzzy Transform, which is successfully used to compress images and manage the information loss of the reconstructed image. Unlike other lossy image compression methods, it ensures that the quality of the reconstructed image is not lower than a prefixed threshold. However, this method is not suitable for compressing massive images due to the high processing times and memory usage. In this paper, we propose a variation of MF-tr for the compression of massive images. The image is divided into tiles, each of which is individually compressed using MF-tr; thereafter, the image is reconstructed by merging the decompressed tiles. Comparative tests performed on remote sensing images show that the proposed method provides better performance than MF-tr in terms of compression rate and CPU time. Moreover, comparison tests show that our method reconstructs the image with CPU times that are at least two times less than those obtained using the MF-tr algorithm.

Abstract

The Multilevel Fuzzy Transform technique (MF-tr) is a hierarchical image compression method based on Fuzzy Transform, which is successfully used to compress images and manage the information loss of the reconstructed image. Unlike other lossy image compression methods, it ensures that the quality of the reconstructed image is not lower than a prefixed threshold. However, this method is not suitable for compressing massive images due to the high processing times and memory usage. In this paper, we propose a variation of MF-tr for the compression of massive images. The image is divided into tiles, each of which is individually compressed using MF-tr; thereafter, the image is reconstructed by merging the decompressed tiles. Comparative tests performed on remote sensing images show that the proposed method provides better performance than MF-tr in terms of compression rate and CPU time. Moreover, comparison tests show that our method reconstructs the image with CPU times that are at least two times less than those obtained using the MF-tr algorithm.
