Three-Dimensional Data Compression with Anisotropic Diffusion
نویسنده
چکیده
In 2-D image compression, recent approaches based on image inpainting with edge-enhancing anisotropic diffusion (EED) rival the transform-based quasi-standards JPEG and JPEG 2000 and are even able to surpass it. In this paper, we extend successful concepts from these 2-D methods to the 3-D setting, thereby establishing the first PDE-based 3-D image compression algorithm. This codec uses a cuboidal subdivision strategy to select and efficiently store a small set of sparse image data and reconstructs missing image parts with EED-based inpainting. An evaluation on real-world medical data substantiates the superior performance of this new algorithm in comparison to 2-D inpainting methods and the compression standard DICOM for medical data.

A Novel Spot-Enhancement Anisotropic Diffusion Method for the Improvement of Segmentation in Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Images, Based on the Watershed Transform Algorithm
Introduction Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) is a powerful technique in proteomics for protein separation. In this technique, spot segmentation is an essential stage, which can be challenging due to problems such as overlapping spots, streaks, artifacts and noise. Watershed transform is one of the common methods for image segmentation. Nevertheless, in 2DGE image segmentation, the no...
متن کاملImage Structure Preserving of Lossy Compression in the Sense of Perceptual Distortion When Using Anisotropic Diffusion Preprocessing
In this paper we show how the image structure can be better preserved at lossy compression, when compression artifact is reduced with perceptually adaptive filtering by means of anisotropic diffusion, performed on the image before coding. Adaptive filtering extracts and preserves the important visual information, and it will be discussed in the context of the non-linear scale-space theory. Amon...

The removal of speckle noise in three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography is required for better analysis of the image and proper diagnosis and thus an important step in pre-processing. This paper proposes a new algorithm for removing the speckle noise which utilizes Von Neumann neighborhood concept. The application of three dimensional connectivity theories would reduce the noise to a certain ex...

In this paper Lie point symmetries, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation are investigated. First of all Lie symmetries are obtained by using the general method based on invariance condition of a system of differential equations under a prolonged vector field. Then the structure of symmetry ...
متن کاملNonuniform Segment-Based Compression of Motion Capture Data
This paper presents a lossy compression method for motion capture data. Each degree of freedom of a motion clip is smoothed by an anisotropic diffusion process and then divided into segments at feature discontinuities. Feature discontinuities are identified by the zero crossings of the second derivative in the smoothed data. Finally, each segment of each degree of freedom is approximated by a c...
