Jpeg2000 Roi Coding in Medical Imaging Applications

چکیده
Region of interest (ROI) coding is one of the innovative functionalities supported by JPEG2000. It enables a non-uniform distribution of the available bit budget (i.e. image quality) between a selected region (ROI) and the rest of the image (background). This is achieved by appropriate scaling of the background wavelet coefficients. Two different methods are used for ROI coding, the MAXSHIFT method and the scaling-based method. In the present work it is subjectively and objectively verified that ROI coding offers higher diagnostic value for low bit rate (lossy) compression, as opposed to the non-ROI compression of medical images. The MAXSHIFT method, which is included in the baseline algorithm of the standard, proves to be very effective, thus greatly contributing to the use of lossy coding for medical imagery compression.

JPEG2000 ROI coding through component priority for digital mammography
Region Of Interest (ROI) coding is a prominent feature of some image coding systems aimed to prioritize specific areas of the image through the construction of a codestream that, decoded at increasing bit-rates, recovers the ROI first and with higher quality than the rest of the image. JPEG2000 is a wavelet-based coding system that is supported in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medic...
متن کاملImage compression: Maxshift ROI encoding options in JPEG2000
Image compression can improve the performance of the digital systems by reducing time and cost in image storage and transmission without significant reduction of the image quality. Furthermore, the JPEG2000 has emerged as the new state-of-the art standard for image compression. In this paper, a Selective Coefficient Mask Shift (SCMShift) coding method is proposed. The technique, implemented ove...

متن کاملMultiple, arbitrary shape ROI coding with zerotree based wavelet coders
Region-based video coding schemes employed in MPEG-4 is also promising for still image coding applications where images contain a number of objects that can be encoded at different bit rates, such as compression of medical images for archiving and tranmission. Motivated by this fact, in this paper we investigate multi-region and multi-quality (MRMQ) coding based on zerotree wavelet coders. We p...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Region of Interest Coding in JPEG2000
The JPEG2000 standard defines two methods for region of interest (ROI) coding, the maximum shift and the general scaling. In the maximum shift method, an ROI can have any shape that does not need to be transmitted to the decoder, but does not have the flexibility to select an arbitrary scaling value to compromise the ROI quality compared with the background. The general scaling based method sup...
