Low-Bitrate Medical Image Compression

چکیده
Medical imaging is an important element in the medical diagnostic process. However, storing medical images in a certain format is quite challenging. The size of a digital medical image is in the range of 3–32 MB per examination, depending on the imaging modality. Image compression will be a suitable solution when it comes to minimizing the size of stored medical images. The quest to find a compression method that has very good quality image reconstruction and a high compression ratio is limited by the Shanon/Nyquist sampling theorem and image entropy. However, in recent years, compressive sampling (CS) has arisen as an alternative sampling method. It guarantees the reconstruction of a high-quality signal from a small number of samples, and can be carried out if the signal is sparse enough. A set of trained bases grouped as a dictionary will guarantee the sparsest representation of the signal. This paper propose a low bit-rate medical image compression scheme based on CS and an overcomplete bases set to represent the medical images as sparse as possible.

Adaptive fractal image compression using PSO
At low bitrate and with acceptable quality in Fractal Image Compression (FIC) of the coded image, the encoding time is very large for most existing algorithms. In this paper, a fast fractal encoding system is proposed using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to reduce the encoding time. Here, an optimization technique is used for the MSE based on the stopping criterion between range block and do...

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...
متن کاملBetter Compression Rate For Images With The Deployment of ATSVD
Abstract. The reduction of output bitrate of video source (of I-frames) and consequently the improvement of multiplexer’s gain are the main target of this paper. In reducing the bitrate, the SVD transform coding as an attractive alternative to the DCT coding was adopted. The SVD transformation just like DCT is a lossy image compression, but it can achieve a higher rate. The rank of SVD matrix t...
