Abstract

This paper presents a new halftoning-based block truncation coding (HBTC) image reconstruction using sparse representation framework. The HBTC is a simple yet powerful image compression technique, which can effectively remove the typical blocking effect and false contour. Two types of HBTC methods are discussed in this paper, i.e., ordered dither block truncation coding (ODBTC) and error diffusion block truncation coding (EDBTC). The proposed sparsity-based method suppresses the impulsive noise on ODBTC and EDBTC decoded image with a coupled dictionary containing the HBTC image component and the clean image component dictionaries. Herein, a sparse coefficient is estimated from the HBTC decoded image by means of the HBTC image dictionary. The reconstructed image is subsequently built and aligned from the clean, i.e. non-compressed image dictionary and predicted sparse coefficient. To further reduce the blocking effect, the image patch is firstly identified as “border” and “non-border” type before applying the sparse representation framework. Adding the Laplacian prior knowledge on HBTC decoded image, it yields better reconstructed image quality. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed HBTC image reconstruction. The proposed method also outperforms the former schemes in terms of reconstructed image quality.

Abstract

This paper presents a simple technique to perform inverse halftoning using the deep learning framework. The proposed method inherits the usability and superiority of deep residual learning to reconstruct the halftone image into the continuous-tone representation. It involves a series of convolution operations and activation function in forms of residual block elements. We investigate the usage of pre-activation function and standard activation function in each residual block. The experimental section validates the proposed method ability to effectively reconstruct the halftone image. This section also exhibits the proposed method superiority in the inverse halftoning task compared to that of the handcrafted feature schemes and former deep learning approaches. The proposed method achieves 30.37 dB and 0.9481 on the average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM) scores, respectively. It gives the improvements around 1.67 dB and 0.0481 for those values compared to the most competing scheme.
