The Image Compression Method Based on Adaptive Segment and Adaptive Quantified

An image compression method based on adaptive segment and adaptive quantified is presented in this paper. The image is divided into smooth and detail areas using the multi-threshold-segmentation method based on the potential function. The quantization table varied with the different image. The 2-D DCT is decomposed into 1-D fast DCT based on base-2 FFT. The Compression-to-PSNR Rate can evaluate the image compression result more effectively than that of the compression rate or PSNR respectively. The experiment shows that the algorithm gives the superior performance compared with traditional JPEG.
