volumetric medical image coding: an object-based, lossy-to-lossless and fully scalable approach

چکیده
in this paper, an object-based, highly scalable, lossy-to-lossless 3d wavelet coding approach for volumetric medical image data (e.g. mr and ct) is proposed. the new method, called 3dobhs-spiht, is based on the well known set partitioning in hierarchical trees (spiht) algorithm and supports both quality and resolution scalability. the 3d input data is grouped into groups of slices (gos) and each gos is encoded and decoded as a separate unit. the symmetric tree definition of the original 3dspiht is improved by introducing a new asymmetric tree structure. while preserving compression efficiency, the new tree structure allows for a small size of each gos which not only reduces memory consumption during the encoding and decoding processes but also facilitates more efficient random access to certain segments of slices. to achieve more compression efficiency, the algorithm only encodes the main object of interest in each 3d data set, which can have any arbitrary shape, and ignores the unnecessary background. the experimental results on some mr data sets show the good performance of the 3dobhs-spiht algorithm for multiresolution lossy-to-lossless coding. compression efficiency, full scalability, and object-based features of the proposed approach, beside its lossy-to-lossless coding support, make it a very attractive candidate for volumetric medical image information archiving and transmission applications.

متن کاملLossless/lossy coding gain to evaluate coding performance of the lossless/lossy wavelet
In this report, we propose lossless/lossy coding gain as a new objective criterion to theoretically evaluate lossless and lossy coding performance of the lossless/lossy wavelet (LLW). The proposed lossless/lossy coding gain consists of three parameters: “lossless coding gain”, “quantization-lossy coding gain” and “rounding errors”. Performances of 15 kinds of the LLW are measured with two-dimen...

In this paper we propose a multispectral image compression based on lossy to lossless coding, suitable for both spectral and color reproduction. The proposed method divides a multispectral image data into two groups, RGB and residual. The RGB component is extracted from the multispectral image, for example, by using the XYZ Color Matching Functions, a color conversion matrix, and a gamma curve....
متن کاملLossy to lossless object-based coding of 3-D MRI data
We propose a fully three-dimensional (3-D) object-based coding system exploiting the diagnostic relevance of the different regions of the volumetric data for rate allocation. The data are first decorrelated via a 3-D discrete wavelet transform. The implementation via the lifting steps scheme allows to map integer-to-integer values, enabling lossless coding, and facilitates the definition of the...
