Abstract

A method of transform domain processing of transformed data is applied to image processing in various applications. A one-dimensional algorithm allows for the selection of an arbitrary contiguous eight component DCT sub-block from two adjacent DCT blocks that foregoes the expense of image manipulation in the real domain. Due to the fact that non-zero DCT coefficients are generally sparse, this algorithm lends itself nicely to the development of special cases which are faster than methods in use today. The de-quantization and re-quantization can be combined at execution time with the constants.
