Abstract

We present a dictionary learning algorithm which is tailored to the block-based image prediction problem. More precisely, we learn two related sub-dictionaries A"c and A"t, the first one (A"c) for approximating known samples in a causal neighborhood of the block to be predicted and the other one (A"t) to approximate the block to be predicted. These two dictionaries are learned so that representation vectors computed by approximating the known samples using A"c will lead to a good approximation of the block to be predicted when used together with A"t. Because of its simplicity, this method can be used for on-the-fly learning of dictionaries. The proposed method has first been evaluated for intra prediction. It has then been applied in a complete image compression algorithm. Experimental results show gains up to 3dB in terms of prediction compared to the H.264/AVC intra modes and up to 2dB in terms of rate-distortion performance.
