Computer　generated　compound　images　contain　not　only　photographic　images　but　also　text　and　graphics　images,　which　makes　it　difficult　to　be　efficiently　compressed　using　exiting　image　and　video　coding　standards.　This　paper　presents　a　new　compound　image　coding　scheme　based　on　the　intra　coding　framework　of　the　upcoming　high　efficiency　video　coding　(HEVC)　standard.　The　proposed　scheme　first　decomposes　the　compound　image　into　color　components　and　structure　components.　Then　two-stage　prediction　scheme　is　employed　to　exploit　the　correlation　among　structure　components,　where　the　first　prediction　is　generated　by　directional　prediction　and　second　prediction　is　generated　by　template　matching.　Experimental　results　show　that　the　proposed　scheme　achieves　up　to　10.2　dB　coding　gain　on　compound　images　compared　with　HEVC.　And　on　average　it　achieves　42.2　percent　bitrate　saving　compared　with　HEVC.　©　2012　IEEE.
