Panoramic Dental X-Ray Image Compression using Wavelet Filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, wavelet transform has proven to be very effective in medical image compression. So, the choice of wavelet filters is a vital factor that could determine the compression performance. This paper considered the effect of applying different types of wavelet filters belonging to orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelet families with different orders on the panoramic dental x-ray images. In addition to commonly use of PSNR and compression ratio measurement is adopted for objective image quality evaluation. SPIHT coding is used to encode and decode the image. The wavelet filters used are Haar, Daubichies8, 9/7 and 5/3 filters. The performance evaluation of the image quality is measured objectively using peak signal to noise ratio and compression ratio. The simulated results reveal that 9/7 irreversible wavelet transform is almost the best choice for lossy panoramic dental x-ray image compression.And it can be described by using a MATLAB software which is a high performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy to use environment where problems and solutions expressed in familiar mathematical notation.

متن کاملAn Image Processing Approach based on GNU Image Manipulation Program GIMP to the Panoramic Radiography
We have recently proposed, in a paper published by the International Journal of Sciences, the use of some freely available image processing tools to enhance images of the fundus of the eye. In particular, we have discussed the use of GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, and of some wavelet filters and fractional gradient methods from other image processing programs. Here we propose GIMP to...
متن کاملImage quality enhancement in digital panoramic radiograph
One of the most common positioning errors in panoramic radiography is palatoglossal air space above the apices of the root of maxillary teeth. It causes a radiolucency obscuring the apices of maxillary teeth. In the case of this positioning error, the imaging should be repeated. This causes the patient be exposed to radiation again. To avoid the repetition of exposing harmful X-rays to the pati...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Digital panoramic X-ray images can be captured using photostimulable phosphors or solid-state detectors (i.e. charge-coupled devices and Flat-Panels). The first category is defined as computed radiography (CR) or semi-direct radiography. The second technology that uses solid-state detectors is known as direct digital radiography (DDR). Both of these technologies have their o...
