Compression of Medical Images using Improved Kohonen Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, neural networks are largely used in signal processing and images. In particular, Kohonen networks or Self Organizing Maps are unsupervised learning models. This method performs a vector quantization (VQ) on the values obtained after processing. The vector quantization has a potential to give more data compression maintaining the same quality. In this paper we propose new scheme to image compression using Kohonen networks. The main innovation is to use the optimal Kohonen topological map to determine the optimal codebook, which can reduce the storage space, simplify data transfer and accelerate the process of data compression, unlike in classical Kohonen approach. To test our approach, we use the medical images. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

متن کاملLow bitrate image compression using self-organized Kohonen maps
In this paper, we propose a new image compression algorithm based on Kohonen self-organized maps. The compression is based on vector quantization (VQ) of the DCT coefficients of image blocks, where the VQ is implemented by a Kohonen network. At low bitrates, our proposed method performs better than an earlier compression scheme developed by Amerijckx et al. [1] and shows better subjective resul...

This paper describes the compression of grayscale medical ultrasound images using a new compression technique, space-frequency segmentation. This method finds the rate-distortion optimal representation of an image from a large set of possible space-frequency partitions and quantizer combinations. The method is especially effective when the images to code are statistically inhomogeneous, which i...
