Image compression technique is widely used in multimedia signal processing. As a conventional lossy compression technique, block truncation coding (BTC) deserves further improvements to enhance its performance of compression. The improvements of BTC mainly focus on: 1) enhancing the quality of reconstructed image and 2) decreasing the bit rate. In this paper, an adaptive and dynamic multi-grouping scheme is proposed for the absolute moment block truncation coding (AMBTC), which is mainly based on an optimized grouping mechanism with the adaptive threshold setting according to the complexity of image blocks. Besides, the values of the reconstruction levels are replaced by their compressed difference values in order to decrease the bit rate. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can enhance the compression performance of AMBTC effectively.
