According to DCT coefficient characteristic of image and the threshold of the human eye to distinguish colors and chromatic aberration
a color image compression technique scheme was proposed based on the chromatic aberration. In the program
color images were transformed into the device-independent CIELAB color space firstly
and were transformed by DCT and their chromatic aberration was calculated. Then the images were quantified selectively by color aberration threshold of the human eye
and were coded by Huffman algorithm. Finally the images were decompressed by the above inverse process. Through simulation experiments
the results showed that reconstructed color images after decompression were almost the same as the source image
that the PSNR of the brightness images decompressed of each component were more than 30 dB
and that the human eye could hardly tell their difference. The five parameters values measured the coding quality were better
and the compression ratio of color image can be achieved 107.167 8 in case of ensuring the decompression image quality
which fully met the demand for color image compression. Comprehensive results showed that proposed image compression technology scheme color based on chromatic aberration was a viable
