Abstract(in English) In this paper, we present a contour based image compression technique by sampling and vector quatization of wavelet energy distribution. The wavelet energy distribution is defined as squared sum of horizontal or vertical components of discrete dyadic wavelet transform. The energy distribution is a rotation insensitive multi-scale representation and represents a gradient intensity in multiscale. The proposed compression technique represents contours by multiscale, and can describe the smoothness of edges on contours. In image reconstruction, coarse-to-fine recovery algorithm is applied to the vector-quantized edge representation to decrease the danger trap into the local minimum. Finally, the image compression at very low bit-rate and comparison with JPEG are demonstrated.
