Abstract

Investigates the application of a radial basis function network (RBFN) to hierarchical image coding for progressive transmission. The RBFN is then used to generate an interpolated image from the subsampled version. An efficient method of computing the network parameters is developed for reduction in computational and memory requirements. The coding method does not suffer from problems of blocking effect and can produce the coarsest image quickly. Quantization error effects introduced at one stage are considered in decoding images at the following stages, thus allowing lossless progressive transmission
