Compression of Screen Content Images

Description

This thesis can be written in German and in English.

The need to transmit screen content data is more important than ever. Online conferencing, screen sharing and remote desktop are just a few applications where screen content data has to be compressed. However, conventional image and video codecs are mainly optimized for camera-captured images and videos. Screen content, however, differs greatly in its characteristics from natural images. Therefore, existing codecs have to be adapted to such data or completely new methods have to be researched that can exploit the special properties of screen content.
