Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel approach to overcoming the context dilution problem in context-based entropy coding of images. We propose a family of algorithms that employ similarity among context models to improve the adaptation rate of context models. The proposed scheme employs nonconventional updates of the probability tables kept by the context entropy coder, that extend the notion of symbol occurrence. Preliminary experimental results, obtained using wavelet transformed images, indicate that the basic algorithm indeed improves the performance of conventional context modelers by enhancing the model adaptation rate, and achieve efficiency competitive to well-established algorithms.
