ABSTRACT

The motivation behind the production of high resolution images is to increase the quality and the visual presentation of a digital image. The erstwhile analogue images captured by the silver Bromide film was having infinite resolution. However the options such as editing, transmission through the media etc features warranted the production of the digital images. Started with the few thousand pixels now, the digital images are of 16 Megapixels or more resolution and tend to bridge the gap between the analogue and digital images while maintaining the advantages offered by the digital images. However, in this effort of increasing the resolution, the size increases drastically and thus compression and optimization is required to the extent possible. The proposed feature based image optimization techniques will reduce the size of the image by incorporating feature based segmentation while maintaining the high quality in the areas of interest opted by users.
