This paper describes a new image and video compression algorithm based on block and vector transformations used in a multiresolution approach. The algorithm is shown to yield substantial compression gains over regular block coding with only a small increase in the computational load. In particular, the transform efficiency on a first-order Markov process is demonstrated to exceed that of a block transformation and approach the efficiency of the full transformation as the correlation factor approaches unity. Experiments with real video data also illustrate the compression gains for a variety of vector transformations including vector DCT and vector Hadamard.
