Abstract

Contrary to convention, we construct distributed image compression codecs that operate in the pixel-domain, yet exploit spatial correlation at the decoder only. For lossless compression of binary images of text, we propose two novel decoders: one assumes the image to be a one-dimensional stationary Markov process, and the other assumes it to be a two-dimensional stationary Markov random field. We demonstrate that these decoders enable compression approaching their respective Slepian-Wolf limits and they perform better than the baseline pixel-domain decoder by factors of at least 2 and 4, respectively.
