title: Improvement on image transform coding by reducing interblock correlation.
abstract: We try to improve transform coding efficiency by alleviating the interblock correlation due to the small size of the block. The proposed method needs minor modification from conventional transform coding techniques such as JPEG, and reduces the information loss in the coding procedure for a given bit rate. Simulation results demonstrate that the method drastically diminishes the blocking effects and enhances the subjective visual quality compared with such existing algorithms as JPEG and LOT.
