Title: IMPROVING JPEG2000's PERCEPTUAL PERFORMANCE WITH WEIGHTS BASED ON BOTH CONTRAST SENSITIVITY AND STANDARD DEVIATION

Abstract: The JPEG2000 standard includes a perceptual weighting method based on the contrast sensitivity function (CSF). Recent literature shows that perceptual methods based on subband standard deviation are also effective in image compression. We present two new perceptual weighting methods that combine information from both the human contrast sensitivity function as well as the standard deviation within a subband or code-block. We compare these two new sets of perceptual weights to the JPEG2000 CSF weights. The results indicate that our new weights performed better than the JPEG2000 CSF weights for high frequency images. Weights based solely on subband standard deviation are shown to perform worse than JPEG2000 CSF weights for all images at all compression ratios.
