The research of a new auto target recognition directed image compression

An improving auto target recognition directed (IATR-Directed) image compression algorithm based on the traditional auto target recognition directed (ATR-Directed) image compression was presented. The algorithm decomposed an image by morphology Haar wavelet, then used morphological region of interest (ROI) detection operator to find the targets ROI, by which partitioned the low-frequency morphological wavelet coefficients into three coding map, at last, chose the adaptive arithmetic coding method to code different coding map. Extensive experiments has shown that IATR-Directed image compression could compress the image with simple operations, and can save the information of the targets effectively, and it is very competitive compared with other methods.
