Abstract

In this study heavy-tailed distributions including Pareto, Weibull, Levy, and Log-normal distributions are proposed to model the DCT coefficients of real-world sources. It will be shown that the proposed heavy-tailed distributions are more accurate to model non-strictly sparse sources rather than Laplace and Cauchy distributions. Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method is utilized to parameter estimation of the proposed distributions. Finally, the Shannon Lower Bound (SLB) on the rate distortion function of each model is calculated, accordingly a framework is provided that could be used to assess the rate distortion performance of any coding scheme that is supposed to compress DCT coefficients as outcome of a sparse source.
