To provde hgher reconstructon qualty for the mportant regon, Regon of Interest (ROI) based compresson methods are developed. In mage compresson, ROI codng allows to recover the ROI earler than the rest of the mage. JPEG000 s an nternatonal standard for stll mage compresson and provdes an extensve set of features ncludng ROI codng. The Maxshft and Implct are the two ROI codng methods specfed n JPEG000 part-1. They use two dfferent mechansms, modfyng wavelet coeffcents, and ratedstorton optmzaton respectvely. These methods have some advantages and dsadvantages. The paper proposes a multple regon of nterest prortzaton codng method for JPEG 000, to overcome the drawbacs of these methods. The proposed method, mprove objectve as well as subjectve qualtes, the Pea Sgnal to Nose Rato (PSNR) and the Structural Smlarty Index (SSIM) n the ROIs respectvely. Keywords EBCOT, JPEG000, MAXSHIFT, Implct, PCRD I. INTRODUCTION Advanced mage acquston sensors capture the mages wth hgh resoluton n both spatal and bt depth. Hence, the mages are becomng more detaled and buly. Thus, n spte of mprovement n storage devces and transmsson technology, the need of mage compresson s ever ncreasng to reduce storage space and transmsson cost for dgtal mages. The man objectve of an mage compresson s to represent an mage wth a smaller number of bts wthout ntroducng notceable degradaton n vsual qualty of decompressed mage. These goals are mutually opposte n nature and one sacrfces for another. In an mage all regons are not equally mportant. Therefore, to provde hgher reconstructon qualty for the mportant regon, Regon of Interest (ROI) based compresson methods are developed. ROI methods compress the mage wth hgher qualty for the ROI over the bacground and save the storage space. Some of the modern mage compresson standards support ROI codng; n that, they prortze certan parts of the mage over the rest of the mage. For example, n the medcal feld [1] specal mages le mammogram [], computerzed tomogram [3], dgtal X-rays, n mages of geographc nformaton systems [4], n survellance mages * Prncpal, A. P. Shah Insttute of Technology Thane, Inda and n general every mage may contan more sgnfcant regons than the bacground. In such applcatons, t s desrable to compress the mage wth hgher qualty for the ROI over the bacground. It s also desrable that when the compressed mage s transmtted, the nformaton pertanng to the ROI s transmtted earler than the nformaton related to the bacground. Here extracton of the ROI s a crucal tas, whch may be manual or automatc. JPEG000 s a new standard accepted n maret for mage compresson n dfferent felds due to ts extensve set of features. ROI codng s one of the mportant features of JPEG 000, whch s acheved through two mechansms. They are modfyng wavelet coeffcents and usng ratedstorton optmzaton technques. Both the mechansms have some pros and cone. Modfyng wavelet coeffcents mechansm obtans an excellent accuracy to delmt ROI areas, t can support multple ROI, but the dynamc range of wavelet coeffcents has to ncrease n the multple of the number of ROIs, whch s not a practcal soluton. The second mechansm supports multple ROI wth lossless mode, but, as t wors at codebloc level, t fals to acheve the requred fne-gran accuracy at low bt rate. A proposed ROI codng method s complant wth JPEG000 and s able to acheve multple ROIs prortzaton wth fne gran accuracy, that too at the same dynamc range of wavelet coeffcent as sngle ROI prortzaton wth Maxshft method. The paper s organzed as follows: Secton II revews the ROI mechansms used n JPEG000; Secton III ntroduces the proposed generalzed multple ROI codng method; Secton IV provdes numercal and vsual results assessng the performance of the method, for multple ROIs; and Secton V concludes wth remars. II. JPEG000 AND ROI CODING MECHANISMS JPEG000 core encodng s formed by transformatons, optonal quantzaton, entropy codng (ter-1 coder), and bt stream organzaton (ter- coder) [5], Fg.1 shows the bloc dagram of typcal JPEG 000 wth ROI codng optons. The mage nput to JPEG 000 may contan sgned or unsgned 1 to 14 components (for example, RGB or YC b C r ) wth a bt depth n the range of 1-38 bts. The transformaton of the nput mage s done through four stages: level shftng, color transformaton, tlng and

2 Ompraash Rajanar et al, / (IJCSIT) Internatonal Journal of Computer Scence and Informaton Technologes, Vol. 6 (), 015, wavelet transform. Level shftng of unsgned sample values n each component becomes necessary to avod numercal overflow. To de-correlate the color data the level shfted values are subjected to a forward color component transformaton. The color transforms are of two types rreversble color transform (ICT) and reversble color transform (RCT). After color transformaton, the mage s splt nto tles. Tlng s partcularly useful when the avalable memory s lmted or mage sze s large. Usng small szed tles can create a blocng effect. The dscrete wavelet transforms (DWT) are mplemented by the lftng scheme or by convoluton. The DWT decomposes the mage tles and offers an expected soluton for mult resoluton requrements of the JPEG 000 standard. Daubeches (9,7) floatng pont and (5,3) reversble ntegerto-nteger flter-ban are adapted n JPEG 000. The DWT decompose the source mage nto hgh frequency and low frequency subbands. The dvson of each subband gves rectangular blocs called precncts. Further dvson of precncts provdes smaller blocs called as codeblocs. The wdth and heght of codeblocs are lmted to powers of, and ts sze must not exceed In JPEG 000 part 1, the codebloc sze s same for all sub-bands at all resoluton levels, except the blocs on the boundary. Fg. show an example wth two levels of decomposton and four precncts per subband (where Precncts descrbe the same spatal regon at two dfferent decomposton levels). Wthn a precnct, all the spatally consstent code-blocs are grouped together nto a pacet. The nformaton contaned n a pacet s dstrbuted across a number of layers. A collecton of layers comprses the fnal JPEG000 bt stream. In the case of lossy compresson, the dead-zone quantzer quantzes the wavelet coeffcents of each subband. Then the next stage, encode the quantzed wavelet coeffcents to form the output bt stream. Embedded bloc codng wth optmze truncaton (EBCOT) s a two tre encoder employed n JPEG000. Where, ter- 1and ter- especally does the sample data entropy codng and bt stream organzaton respectvely. The rate-dstorton optmzaton s controlled by the rate control bloc wth the help of unform dead-zone quantzer, and EBCOT. Decompressor s a mrror of the compressor t just undoes the operatons n reverse order to reconstruct the orgnal mage. Only the decompressor s defned n JPEG000 standard. Therefore, as long as the output bt stream s decompressble the related compressors are sad to be compatble. The nformaton of the precncts, codeblocs, layers, and pacets are ncluded n the bt stream. It should be noted here that state-of-the-art compresson performance of JPEG000 s due to EBCOT embedded bt stream algorthm. JPEG000 support two types of mechansms for the ROI codng: coeffcent scalng based mechansms and post compresson rate-dstorton (PCRD) optmzaton based mechansms.

Coeffcent scalng based mechansms In coeffcent scalng based mechansms, the wavelet coeffcents or quantzed wavelet coeffcents belongng to ROI are up-shfted by bt-plane shft or by multplyng them wth a desred prorty R, whch s commonly chosen to be a power of. Coeffcent scalng based mechansms gves hgh fne-gran accuracy but penalzes the codng performance sgnfcantly [6]. Non-overlappng and overlappng bt plane are the two types of coeffcent scalng based mechansms. The JPEG000 (part 1) defnes the Maxshft [7] and JPEG000 (part ) defnes the General scalng [8] methods that are non-overlappng and overlappng bt plane types respectvely. The dynamc range of wavelet coeffcents doubles to embed the arbtrary ROI shape n non-overlappng bt plane methods. It arranges ROI and bacground bt planes one by one. Some modfcatons of these methods that are complant wth JPEG 000 proposed n the lterature are: Btplane by Btplane Shft (BbBShft) [9] and Generalzed Btplane by Btplane Shft (GBbBShft) [10]. In the case of overlappng bt plane methods, the dynamc range of wavelet coeffcents ncreases wth the ROI prorty. In order to dfferentate ROI and bacground, ether specfc ROI shape or explct arbtrary bnary mass are transmtted along wth the code stream. Partal Sgnfcance Btplane Shft (PSBShft)[11], Hybrd Btplane Shft (HBShft) and Generalzed Partal Btplanes Shft (GPBShft) [1] are the examples of overlappng btplane methods. B. Post compresson rate-dstorton (PCRD) optmzaton based mechansms In JPEG000, the Post Compresson Rate Dstorton optmzaton algorthm (PCRD) [13] s used to organze each codebloc bt stream n an optmal way to mnmze the dstorton whle attanng the requred bt rate constrants. ROI codng methods based on modfyng the dstorton estmaton tae advantage of the rate-dstorton optmzaton stage. In PCRD the bt stream s ndependently truncated to a collecton of dfferent lengths, resultng n dstorton of n the reconstructed mage, n such a way that most of these truncaton ponts le on the convex hull of the correspondng rate-dstorton curve. For each truncaton pont, n, the relevant dstorton, and rate are addtve,.e. n D D (1) n R R () Where, D and R represents an overall mage dstorton and rate respectvely, and denotes the truncaton ponts selected for codeblocs B. An addtve dstorton metrc whch approxmates Mean Squared Error (MSE) s obtaned by settng ˆ n D w sˆ s (3) b Here, S[ ] denotes sub-band samples n the codebloc B, Sˆ [ ] denotes the quantzed representaton of these samples, w b represents the L norm of the wavelet bass functons for the subband b, to whch code-bloc belongs. To mnmze dstorton for a gven bt rate, R max and the optmal selecton of the truncaton ponts n, ( ) ( ) ( n n (4) D R D R ) where, the optmal value of Lagrange s multpler s that value for whch the dstorton cannot be reduced further wthout ncreasng the overall rate and vce-versa. PCRD can be modfed for ROI codng. Codeblocs contanng ROI coeffcents can be effectvely more prortzed than codeblocs contanng bacground coeffcents. Advantages of ths method are, ROIs need not be gven absolute prorty over the bacground and the ROI prorty s not restrcted to be a power of. Method based on ths mechansm n JPEG 000 s the Implct ROI codng method [14]. Selected other methods based on ths mechansm n lterature are separated codebloc ROI codng method [15], ROI codng method based on EBCOT [16], Weghted ROI codng method and Sub-bloc ROI codng method [17]. The Implct ROI codng method ncrease the codng pass dstorton estmates for every codebloc whose coeffcents contrbute to ROI by a factor R. w j R * ˆ w wb s s, ROIcodebloc ' j B (5 D ) j w ˆ b s s, otherwse B The undesrable feature of ths approach s that, t only dstngushes ROI and the bacground codeblocs on a bloc by bloc bass. In addton the same prorty R w s appled to all the ROI codeblocs, rrespectve of number of ROI coeffcents shared by the codebloc. Ths rough unfarness between codeblocs belongng to the ROI and bacground do not acheve fne-gran accuracy. The separated codebloc ROI codng method splts the codebloc nto two codeblocs n such a way that n the ROI codebloc all bacground coeffcents are replaced by zero and vce-versa, then encodng s carred out ndependently. Smlar to MAXSHIFT method, here ROI and bacground cannot be combned fnely. ROI codng method based on EBCOT s varant of the Implct ROI codng method, where the last p bt planes of the bacground coeffcents are truncated to modfy the prorty of ROI codeblocs [18]. To mprove the fne-gran accuracy weghted and sub-bloc ROI codng methods are proposed n [17], that modfy the dstorton contrbutons of codeblocs. Weghted ROI codng method, consder the number of coeffcents wthn the codebloc Ccount szeof( B ) that belongs to the ROI, to determne dstorton contrbutons accordng to (6).

4 Ompraash Rajanar et al, / (IJCSIT) Internatonal Journal of Computer Scence and Informaton Technologes, Vol. 6 (), 015, Second method s sub-bloc ROI codng method. Ths method modfes the dstorton computaton at a coeffcent level nstead of consderng the global codebloc dstorton. The actual dstorton of each coeffcent s computed, therefore conceptually the sub-bloc ROI method should gve fne-gran as accurate as the Maxshft method. Further Sub-bloc and Weghted methods are able to prortze more than one ROI at dfferent prortes. The paper [19] ntroduced ROI codng through component (ROITCOP) method. In ths method, t s necessary to splt the ROIs before encodng and merge the ROIs to reconstruct the mage after decodng. Ths method allocates each ROI to a component and uses the rate-dstorton optmzaton technques to prortze the desred ROI. It s clamed that the ROI codng performance of ROITCOP outperforms Scalng, Implct, and Subbloc ROI codng methods. Grayscale medcal mages wth multple ROI may be coded wth ths method because t allows progressve lossy-tolossless recovery for the ROI and the bacground. All the methods revewed have some advantages and dsadvantages; the user has to choose one of them as per the requrements. There s a need of generalzed multple ROI codng method for color mages that wll tae care of arbtrary shape sngle as well as multple ROIs wth and wthout overlappng, and should provde fne gran accuracy le a Maxshft method wthout much affectng the codng effcency. III. THE GENERALIZED MULTIPLE ROI CODING METHOD The Generalzed multple ROI codng method proposed s a hybrd of the Maxshft [8] and weghted ROI [0] methods. Therefore, t can provde fne gran accuracy le Maxshft, and multple ROI le weghted method. Ths method downshft all the bacground coeffcents by the scalng value,. Where, s s greater than the most sgnfcant magntude bt-plane, for any bacground coeffcent n any codebloc. Ths nsures that durng rate dstorton estmaton ROI coeffcents n the ROI codeblocs wll have a greater dstorton estmate than bacground coeffcents n the ROI codeblocs. Then, t prortzes the codeblocs as per the mportance value and ts ROI contrbuton wthn the bloc. ROIs may or may not be overlapped n the mage doman. If a wavelet coeffcent s dentfed as belongng to more than one ROI, t s prortzed wth the hghest prorty of the ROIs t belongs to. The stepwse procedure of the proposed method s as follows 1. Locate arbtrary shaped ROIs from an mage by sutable ROI detecton method. For example quantzed salency maps or mportance maps drawn manually or automatcally from the mage may be used.. Map the ROIs wth the mage n wavelet doman. 3. To dscrmnate between ROIs and bacground, perform Max-shft coeffcent scalng on the quantzed wavelet coeffcents. Thus, mnmum mportance s assgned to the bacground. 4. Generate embedded bt-streams for each code-bloc. 5. Perform rate dstorton cost functon modulaton by weghtng the code-blocs dstorton wth the bloc mportance value obtaned n step, and scale t wth ROI weght, equvalent to the contrbuton of the ROIs n the codebloc. 6. The modulated dstorton estmates are passed to the post compresson rate-allocaton algorthm to drve the formaton of the qualty layers. The encoded bts are put nto the codestream n order of mportance. Ths method s able to prortze arbtrary ROIs. It completely encodes/decodes the ROIs before the bacground. For ths, on the encoder sde R shft parameter s set to a value greater than the most sgnfcant bt plane of the bacground. To mplement the proposed ROI codng method n JPEG000 dstorton contrbutons are modfed accordng to (6), D '' j j Rc * * ˆ Rv wb s s, ROIcodebl B (7) j w ˆ b s s, otherwse B where, the ROI contrbuton of a bloc s, Rc ( R ( R /4) ( R /8))/ szeof ( B ) And c1 c c3 R, R, R are the contrbutons of ROI 1, ROI and c1 c c3 ROI 3 n the codebloc. An mportance value (Rv) s, the maxmum value n the respectve bloc of ROI map. For a lmted number of ROIs the values may be quantzed to 55,17, 63 or 0 for ROI 1, ROI, ROI 3 and bacground (BG) respectvely, as per the threshold values shown n fg.3 (b). Equaton (7) s a generalzed form of dstorton estmates; we can derve dfferent ROI codng methods from ths equaton by mang some varatons n the parameters. For example, wthout the term Rc, we get hybrd multple Maxshft-Implct ROI codng method, by gnorng the terms R shft and Rc, we derve Implct multple ROI codng method. Smlarly wth lttle varatons we can derve weghted multple ROI, Hybrd Maxshft-Weghted, Maxshft fne, Implct, Weghted and IMPJK ROI methods from the equaton (7). IV. PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS Images are encoded wth dfferent target bt-rates, decoded, and the mage qualty s assessed separately for the ROI and the bacground. The mage qualty s reported n Pea Sgnal to Nose Rato (PSNR), and Structural Smlarty ndex (SSIM) whch are the measures that accounts for the smlarty between the orgnal mage and the reconstructed mage. Hgher PSNR and SSIM represent better qualty of the reconstructed mage. The performance of the proposed ROI codng method s assessed by comparng t wth Maxshft, Weghted, and non ROI methods. The methods have been mplemented n JPEG000 Kaadu verson..3 part-1 mplementaton [5]. The lowest subband LL s ncluded n the fnal bt stream to get smooth bacground along wth ROIs. For ths R level codng parameter s set to, four levels of 9/7 DWT. To obtan fne gran accuracy for ROIs, codebloc sze should be mnmzed. Table 1 shows performance for an mage at 0.5 bpp, t ndcates that as the codebloc sze reduces the tme taen to encode the mage ncreases. Therefore, an optmum choce of codebloc sze for ROI codng of any mage s 3 x 3 nstead of 64x

The total ROI sze should not exceed 5% of the total mage sze. Accordngly, ROI 1, ROI and ROI 3 are mared automatcally usng a salency map of the mage at dfferent thresholds n such way that ther maxmum szes are 3, 6 and 16% of the total mage sze respectvely. Fg.3 shows the performance of the proposed method at dfferent bt rates 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1 bpp. As certan objects n an mage are meanngful due to ts surroundng, the surroundng s equally mportant. Dstortons due to compresson may dvert our attenton from the vsually mportant object or regon n an mage. So the LL subband of lowest wavelet decomposton s ncluded n the fnal bt stream, t provdes the approxmaton of the complete mage and helps to dentfy the mportant objects at low bt rates. Dependng on the avalablty of bt budget the ROI 1, ROI, ROI 3 and bacground are mproved n progressve order from lossy to vsually lossless. a) Orgnal mage 115x115x4 c) 0.05bpp e) 0.1bpp b) Quantzed Salency Mas d) 0.5bpp f) 1bpp Reconstructed Images Fg. 3 Vsual results of an mage for ROI codng at dfferent bt rates for the proposed method

The PSNR and SSIM are not unform throughout the mage. The PSNR and SSIM dfference curves for the ROIs and bacground are plotted n Fg. 4 and Fg. 5 where PSNR dfference and SSIM dfference are the regon wse dfference of PSNR and SSIM of an ROI method wth respect Non ROI method. Fg. 4, Fg. 5 and Table ndcate that at low bt rates (.e. up to 0.1 bpp) the PSNR and SSIM of Non ROI method are better n all the regons. Ths s because of the ncluson of entre LL subband coeffcents as an ROI n the fnal bt stream. At a moderate bt rate (0. to.0) the proposed method shows the best performance n ROI 1, better n ROI, good n ROI 3 and far n bacground regon. At hgher bt rates the PSNR and the SSIM dfferences gradually decreased. If we compare the performance of the proposed method wth the Maxshft method, t becomes clear that the qualty of ther bacground and ROI regons s approxmately same, whereas the qualty of ROI 1 s mproved on an average by 5db at the cost of ROI 3 regon. But stll at the moderate bt rate the qualty of ROI 3 s better than the weghted ROI method. Fg 4 PSNR Dfference w r t wthout ROI codng method Fg. 5 SSIM Dfference w.r.t. wthout ROI codng method

CONCLUSION In many natural mages, ROI s meanngful due to ts surroundng area, the proposed method provdes an excellent multple ROI codng soluton n ths context. The proposed method s a JPEG000 complant generalzed ROI codng method. Except the overlapped scalng all other methods can be derved from t. Ths method tres to preserve ROI and bacground at low bt rates, mproves the qualty of ROIs accordng to the prorty at moderate bt rates. It progressvely mproves the bacground after achevng the requred ROI qualty. It approxmates the fne-gran accuracy of the Maxshft method wthout penalzng the codng effcency. The objectve (PSNR) and subjectve (SSIM) qualtes of hgher prorty ROIs are better than Maxshft and other ROI methods. Here, extracton of the ROI s a crucal tas. To speed up the process of ROI based mage compresson, ROI may be derved automatcally usng salency maps of the mage. REFERENCES [1] C. Douas and I.
