Abstract
This Paper Generalizes Time-Discrete Autoregressive Source Coding Results of Rate-Distortion Theory to Two Dimensions. a 2-D Discrete Autoregressive Source is Defined and Shown to Produce a 2-D Wide-Sense Markovian Field. the Rate Distortion Function of the Source is Then Obtained under Assumption of Gaussian Field Statistics and a Squared Error Fidelity Criterion. a Procedure for Generating an Ensemble of 2-D Codewords Whose Statistics Satisfy the Variational Equations for R(D) is Given. These 2-D Codewords Are, by Space-Time Mappings, 1-D Tree Codes, and It is Noted that a Tree Coding Theorem of Jelinek, Berger, Davis and Hellman Applies. the Problem of Instrumenting Nearly Optimum 2-D Sequential Encoding is Discussed Briefly. the Paper Stresses Potential Application to Image Coder Design.
