Recently, block-based transforms, like discrete cosine transform (DCT), have been widely used in image and video coding standards, but block-based transforms have a weak point with blocking effect. However, the integer lapped orthogonal transform (ILOT) is a tool for block-based coding with bases functions that overlap near blocks, so it has a strong point against blocking effect. Although it has slightly higher arithmetic complexity than the DCT, the coding gain is significantly higher with much less blocking artifacts. This paper introduces the integer lapped orthogonal transforms and discrete cosine transform. And we compare the performance of DCT with ILOT which is proposed a new efficient method for image coding applications.
