چکیده

We design a differentiation-based multi-resolution approach for lossless image compression. The differentiation technique uses six appropriately weighted adjacent pixels (i.e., the pixels located at the west, west-west, north-west, north, north-east, and north-north of the predicted pixel) to estimate the predicted pixel intensity. This differentiation technique can also be considered as an additional rule for the seven predictors used by the lossless JPEG. The prediction error is decomposed by a (2, 2) integer wavelet transform [1] (i.e., the number of vanishing moments of the analyzing high-pass filter and the synthesizing high-pass filter is 2 and 2 respectively) to improve the prediction. The reasons to choose the (2, 2) integer wavelet transform follow [2]: • It maintains the highly important linear phase constraint by relaxing the orthogonality constraint and associating with short length filters. Therefore, it is a suitable tool to compress images regarding minimization of computational time and maximization of compression ratios.

Linear-Prediction-Based Multi-resolution Approach for Lossless Image Compression

We design a linear-prediction-based multi-resolution approach for lossless image compression. The linear prediction technique computes the weighted differences between six neighboring pixel values to estimate the predicted pixel value. The prediction error is decomposed by a one-level integer wavelet transform to improve the prediction. The performance of the proposed approach is compared with ...

An Object-Based, Multiresolution Approach for Coding of MRI Data

This paper proposes an object-based, highly scalable, lossless coding approach for MRI data. The proposed approach, called OBHS-SPIHT, encodes each slice of the input MRI data set separately in a multiresolution fashion from low resolution to full resolution without losing any information. To achieve more compression efficiency, the algorithm only encodes the main object of interest in the inpu...
