We present a compound image compression scheme based on the dictionary-based Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain algorithm (LZMA), under the framework of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). Through matching strings from the sliding window dictionary, LZMA exploits the characteristics of the repeated patterns over the text and graphics regions of compound images, and represents them compactly. To obtain high compression efficiency even for noisy text and graphics contents, we have modified LZMA to support both lossless and lossy compression. We develop and treat it as a new intramode of HEVC. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme achieves significant coding gains for compound image compression. Thanks to the introduction of the lossy LZMA, the compression performance for noisy compound images is improved for more than 5dB in terms of PSNR in comparison with the lossless LZMA scheme.
