ABSTRACT
This paper proposes the tile size conversion method for the wavelet image transcoding gateway and a set of methods to reduce the tile boundary artifacts caused by the conversion.In the wavelet image coding system represented by JPEG2000, pictures are usually divided into one or more tiles and each tile then transformed separately. On low memory terminals such as mobile terminals, some decoders are likely to have limits on what tile sizes they can decode. Assuming a system using these limited decoders, methods were investigated for converting the tile size quickly and automatically at the gateway when image data with a non-decodable tile size is received at the gateway from another system. Furthermore, tile boundary artifacts reduction methods are investigated. This paper proposes a basic method, which creates a tiled wavelet coefficient sequence from a non-tiled wavelet coefficient sequence. This paper also verifies the validity of the proposed scheme by implementing it with a 5x3 reversible filter and a 9x7 irreversible filter.

Tile-boundary artifact reduction using odd tile size and the low-pass first convention
It is well known that tile-boundary artifacts occur in wavelet-based lossy image coding. However, until now, their cause has not been understood well. In this paper, we show that boundary artifacts are an inescapable consequence of the usual methods ...
