POINT PROCESSING IMAGE COMPRESSION
This chapter covers still image compression using coding methods for monochrome
and color images, which are based upon point processing. In the early days of still
image coding research, techniques were limited to point processing because of
implementation restrictions. As will be seen, point processing by itself does not pro-
vide significant bit rate compression. However, these techniques have been proven
to be important sub systems for spatial processing methods to be discussed in the
following chapters. References 1 to ...
