Abstract:
A new image coding technique based on an Linfinity-norm criterion and exploiting statistical properties of the reconstruction error is investigated. The original image is preprocessed, quantized, encoded, and reconstructed within a given confidence interval. Two important classes of preprocessing, namely linear prediction and iterated filterbanks, are used. The approach is also shown to be compatible with previous techniques. The approach allows a great flexibility in that it can perform lossless coding as well as a controlled lossy one: specifications are typically that only p% the reconstructed pixels are different from the original ones.

Interpretation of Confidence Intervals
Confidence intervals have confidence coefficients that are crucial for their interpretation. The most common confidence coefficients are 0.90, 0.95, and 0.99, which can be written as percentages–90%, 95%, and 99%, respectively.
Suppose a person calculates a confidence interval with a confidence coefficient of 0.95. In that case, they can...
