Abstract

Although the representation methods of the quadtree for the multi-valued image have many important applications in different fields, they put too much emphasis upon the symmetry of image segmentation. Therefore, they are not the optimal representation methods. In this paper, inspired by the concept of the packing problem, we present a novel algorithm of Binarybit Plane Decomposition based on the Non-symmetry and Anti-packing pattern representation Model (BPD-based NAM) for the multi-valued image representation. The theoretical analyses and experimental results presented in this paper show that when the algorithm of BPD-based NAM is compared with that of the popular quadtree, the former can reduce the data storage much more effectively than the latter and it is a better method to represent the multi-valued image. This novel algorithm of BPD-based NAM opens a new research area with respect to the multi-valued image representation and is valuable for the further theoretical research and potential business foreground.
