Abstract

One of the key procedures in color image compression is to extract its region of interests (ROIs) and evaluate different compression ratios. A new non-uniform color image compression algorithm with high efficiency is proposed in this paper by using a biology-motivated selective attention model for the effective extraction of ROIs in natural images. When the ROIs have been extracted and labeled in the image, the subsequent work is to encode the ROIs and other regions with different compression ratios via popular JPEG algorithm. Furthermore, experiment results and quantitative and qualitative analysis in the paper show perfect performance when comparing with other traditional color image compression approaches.
