Wavelet Image Compression

More Speed, less Fat

Updated the wavelet-code to version 2.6. What’s new? Speed… I essentially added a new data-independent error-estimator (“Approximate” in the GUI) and optimised the wavelet-transforms (MMX-code) and lots of other bits and pieces… Complete Package. Demo-Page.

No reaction

I’ve been thinking about relicensing the wavelet-code under the zlib-license… Anyone interested enough in that to be worth doing?

Wavelet Fixes

*Small bug fixed (decidedly non-power-of-2 images sometimes had important wavelet-coefficients zeroed out). Thanks, Christian Lange!* Wavelet code updated to version 2.5.2 (including source). Improved the quantiser-selection for bit-limits (i.e. file-size) a LOT (was a bit stupid before – I only … Continue reading

Improved the wavelet-code a bit

Added support for loading texture- and cube-maps and changed the GUI so that it can be used to view files from the command-line.

Better, smaller, faster

Fixed the bug and updated the wavelet code to 2.5. Includes much faster compression, smaller memory footprint and a web-browser plugin w/ progressive downloading. Check the code-page for source and details. Also take a look at the demonstration-page to test … Continue reading

Warning

there’s a bug in my wavelet-decompression browser plugin (using multiple threads). i’ll release version 2.5 as soon as i fix that (with the source )…

Wavelet code now up to version 2.5

Will be up on the page soon (i.e. tonight or probably tomorrow). Sneak preview available here. The browser-plugin still has some multi-threading issues I need to fix (although IMO it should work… I ain’t allocating critical sections for nuthing! ).

Integer Math in CAS

got this week off (all of 4head does in fact), so i started to do some more research on my wavelet-code. spent two days in mathematica trying to analyse error-propagation in the wavelet-transform, proved it is symmetric (just did that … Continue reading

wavelet kompressor 2.1

wavelet.zip updated to version 2.1. it had serious bugs in the quality based quantiser-selection (one was related to not returning lossless “solutions” when they were asked for, the other very often returned large solutions, although better (i.e. smaller) ones were … Continue reading

slightly updated the wavelet code again… i had a little inspiration yesterday evening (well… it should’ve been the obvious thing to do): i now reorder the coefficients that were set to 0 (for non power-of-2 dimensions) to the end of … Continue reading

updated the code page w/ the wavelet kompressor, made some (very minor) changes to the code and added documentation (i think that’s a first for me !

finished the GUI, commented the wavelet compression code (together with everything else) and released it all with source under the GPL. have fun… wavelet.zip!! and please give feedback
