The demand for images in medical field has increased drastically over the years. The need for reducing the storage space has resulted in image compression. This paper presents a dual transform for medical image compression algorithm. The experimental results determines how the compression ratio (CR), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and SNR (signal to noise ratio) of different compression algo...

in this study, the stability problem of a circular orthotropic cylindrical shell under the effect of anaxial compression varying with a power function of time is considered. at first, the modified donnell typedynamic stability and compatibility equations are obtained using love’s shell theory. applying the galerkinmethod and rayleigh-ritz variational techniques to these equations and taking the...

Image Compression reduces redundancy in data representation in order to achieve saving in the cost of storage and transmission. Image compression compensates for the limited on-board resources, in terms of mass memory and downlink bandwidth and thus it provides a solution to the "bandwidth vs. data volume" dilemma of modern spacecraft. Thus compression is very important feature in pay...

This paper presents a Lossy image compression technique which is combination of discrete wavelet transform (DWT), Thresholding, Vector Quantization (VQ) and Huffman coding. Proposed method is as follows, First, DWT is performed on the original image then Globle Thresholding technique is applied and resulting coefficients are then vector quantized. VQ indices are Huffman coded to increase the co...

operating an engine with homogeneous charge compression ignition (hcci) technique is a promising technique to lower nox and pm emissions of engines while achieving high efficiency and lower fuel consumption. nevertheless, applications for hcci are still limited due to the absence of a definite means to control ignition timing and narrow operating region. a single cylinder diesel engine with com...

In the present study emission performance of a diesel engine (Lister Petter) was evaluated at different compression ratios and engine loads with soybean methyl ester and its 25%, 50%, 75% blends with diesel fuel at constant speed 1500 rpm. Exhaust emissions included CO, CO2, HC and NOx. The compression ratio and engine load varied from 14 to 20 with an interval 1 and 25 to...

Based on Side-Match Vector Quantization (SMVQ), the authors propose two schemes to embed more secret information without significantly sacrificing the compression ratio. The data transform scheme improves the embedding capacity while maintaining the same compression ratio. The direct embedding scheme improves the embedding capacity at the expense of increasing the compression ratio slightly. Ac...

This paper develops a new video compression approach based on underdetermined blind source separation. Underdetermined blind source separation, which can be used to efficiently enhance the video compression ratio, is combined with various off-the-shelf codecs in this paper. Combining with MPEG-2, video compression ratio could be improved slightly more than 33%. As for combing with H.264, 4X~12X...

Most present prediction-based image compression techniques take advantage of either intraor inter-image correlation or both to de-correlate images. These decorrelated images usually contain reduced information content. Consequently, higher compression ratios may be obtained from these de-correlated images. This paper studies the relationship between image correlation and the resultant informati...

In this paper, a transform based methodology is presented for compression of electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The methodology employs different transforms such as Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). A comparative study of performance of different transforms for ECG signal is made in terms of Compression ratio (CR), Percent root mean...
