Rate-distortion optimized sparse coding with ordered dictionary for image set compression by Zhang, Xinfeng, Lin, Weisi, Zhang, Yabin, Wang, Shiqi, Ma, Siwei, Duan, Lingyu, Gao, Wen

“…In this paper, we propose a novel framework for image set compression based on the rate-distortion optimized sparse coding. Specifically, given a set of similar images, one representative image is first identified according to the similarity among these images, and a dictionary can be learned subsequently in wavelet domain from the training samples collected from the representative image. …”
