Decompression of JPEG Document Images: A Survey Paper
JPEG Decompression techniques are very useful in 3G/4G based markets, handheld devices and infrastructures. There are many challenging issues in previously proposed decompression methods, like very high computational cost, and heavy distortion in ringing and blocking artifacts which makes the image invisible. To improve the visual quality of the JPEG document images at low bit rate and at low computational cost, we are going to implement the decompression technique for JPEG document images. We first divide the JPEG document image into smooth and non-smooth blocks with the help of Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Then the smooth blocks (background , uniform region) are decoded in the transform domain by minimizing the Total Block Boundary Variation(TBBV). In this we propose to compute the block variation directly in the DCT domain at the super pixel level. The super pixel have size n*n, each super pixel is assigned with an average intensity value. The smooth blocks are then reconstructed by using the Newton’s method. The implementation of the smooth block decompression will be done here. The non-smooth blocks of the document image contains the text and graphics/line drawing objects. The post processing algorithm will be introduced which takes into consideration the specificities of document content. The inverse DCT is applied to represent the image in spatial domain. So the implementation of the non-smooth block decompression will be done here. Finally, we design different experimental results and analyze that our system is better than the existing. And it will show the quality improvement of decompressed JPEG document image
Joint Data compression and Computation offloading in Hierarchical Fog-Cloud Systems
Data compression has the potential to significantly improve the computation
offloading performance in hierarchical fog-cloud systems. However, it remains
unknown how to optimally determine the compression ratio jointly with the
computation offloading decisions and the resource allocation. This joint
optimization problem is studied in the current paper where we aim to minimize
the maximum weighted energy and service delay cost (WEDC) of all users. First,
we consider a scenario where data compression is performed only at the mobile
users. We prove that the optimal offloading decisions have a threshold
structure. Moreover, a novel three-step approach employing convexification
techniques is developed to optimize the compression ratios and the resource
allocation. Then, we address the more general design where data compression is
performed at both the mobile users and the fog server. We propose three
efficient algorithms to overcome the strong coupling between the offloading
decisions and resource allocation. We show that the proposed optimal algorithm
for data compression at only the mobile users can reduce the WEDC by a few
hundred percent compared to computation offloading strategies that do not
leverage data compression or use sub-optimal optimization approaches. Besides,
the proposed algorithms for additional data compression at the fog server can
further reduce the WEDC
