Abstract

Arithmetic coding is an indispensable part of high performance data compression, which theoretically could encode data close to Shannon entropy. In arithmetic coding, probability estimation is an important step, because it determines coding efficiency directly. The paper discusses the probability estimation of non-stationary sources—a broad class of sources in practical application, such as images and videos. Especially, the paper deeply analyzes the characteristics of encoded bit stream in wavelet image compression. Then an efficient strategy is proposed, which utilizes the correlations between subbands of wavelet coefficients efficiently. Experimental results show that this method could improve image compression efficiency.
