Medical Image Compression Using Vector Quantization and Gaussian Mixture Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Codebook design for vector quantization could be performed using clustering technique. The Gaussian Mixture Modeling (GMM) clustering algorithm involves modeling a statistical distribution by a mixture (or weighted sum) of other distributions. GMM has proven superior efficiency in both time and accuracy and has been used with vector quantization in some applications. This paper introduces a medical image compression technique using GMM clustering algorithm and vector quantization. The parameters of each Gaussian component are estimated using the Expectation Maximization iterative method to minimize the error function (maximize the Likelihood). The results for the proposed compression technique are compared with those obtained using the well-known Kohonen SOM neural network compression technique.

Model-Based Training Set Synthesis for Vector Quantization
Dorin Comaniciu Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08854-8058, USA [email protected] Abstract We propose an adaptive vector quantization scheme based on the statistical modeling of AC cosine coefcients with mixtures of Gaussian distributions. The model parameters are used to synthesize training vector sets whose underlying distribution r...
متن کاملGauss Mixture Quantization: Clustering Gauss Mixtures
Gauss mixtures are a popular class of models in statistics and statistical signal processing because Gauss mixtures can provide good fits to smooth densities, because they have a rich theory, because they can yield good results in applications such as classification and image segmentation, and because the can be well estimated by existing algorithms such as the EM algorithm. We here use high ra...

Stochastic models such as mixture models, graphical models, Markov random fields and hidden Markov models have key role in probabilistic data analysis. In this paper, we have learned Gaussian mixture model to the pixels of an image. The parameters of the model have estimated by EM-algorithm. In addition pixel labeling corresponded to each pixel of true image is made by Bayes rule. In fact, ...

Clustering is needed in various applications such as biometric person authentication, speech coding and recognition, image compression and information retrieval. Hundreds of clustering methods have been proposed for the task in various fields but, surprisingly, there are few extensive studies actually comparing them. An important question is how much the choice of a clustering method matters fo...
