چکیده

Recent success in wavelet coding (or interchangeable, linear subband coding) is mainly attributed to the recognition of importance of data organization. There have been several very competitive wavelet codecs developed, namely, Shapiro's Embedded Zerotree Wavelets (EZW), Servetto et al.'s Morphological Representation of Wavelet Data (MRWD), and Said and Pearlman's Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT). In this paper, we propose a new image compression algorithm called Signiicance-Linked Connected Component Analysis (SLCCA) of wavelet coeecients. SLCCA exploits both within-subband clustering of signiicant coeecients and cross-subband dependency in signiicant elds. A so-called signiicance link between connected components is designed to reduce the positional overhead of MRWD. In addition, the signiicant coeecients' magnitude are encoded in bit plane order to match the probability model of the adaptive arithmetic coder. Experiments show that SLCCA outperforms both EZW and MRWD, and is tied with SPIHT. Furthermore, it is observed that SLCCA generally has the best performance on images with large portion of texture. When applied to ngerprint image compression, it outperforms FBI's wavelet scalar quantization by about 1 dB.

Three-dimensional Wavelet Coding of Magnetic Resonance Images

| Three-dimensional signi cance-linked connected component analysis (3D-SLCCA) is proposed for compression of volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Due to relatively low inter-slice correlation and high noise level of MRI, 3DSLCCA treats two MRI slices as a processing unit. By using the Haar wavelet, the temporal lowpass and temporal highpass subbands are obtained as the sum and di ...

Signi cance{Linked Connected Component Analysis for Very Low Bit Rate Wavelet Video Coding

In recent years, a tremendous success in wavelet image coding has been achieved. It is mainly attributed to innovative strategies for data organization and representation of wavelet-transformed images. However, there have been only a few successful attempts in wavelet video coding. The most successful one is perhaps Sarno Corporation's zerotree entropy (ZTE) video coder. In the paper, a novel h...
