In this paper a reversible discrete cosine transform (RDCT) is presented. The N-point reversible transform is firstly presented, then the 8-point RDCT is obtained by substituting the 2 and 4-point reversible transforms for the 2 and 4-point transforms which compose the 8-point discrete cosine transform (DCT), respectively. The integer input signal can be losslessly recovered, although the transform coefficients are integer numbers. If the floor functions are ignored in RDCT, the transform is exactly the same as DCT with determinant=1. RDCT is also normalized so that we can avoid the problem that dynamic range is nonuniform. A simulation on continuous-tone still images shows that the lossless and lossy compression efficiencies of RDCT are comparable to those obtained with reversible wavelet transform.
