A Study on the Hierachical Coding of the Angiography by Using the Scalable Structure in the MPACS System

MPACS 시스템에서 Scalable 구조를 이용한 심장 조영상의 계층적 부호화에 관한 연구

In this paper, we propose an effective coding method of the angiography by using the scalable structure in the frequency domain for MPACS(Medical Picture Archiving and Communication System). We employed the subband decomposition method and MPEG-2 system which is the international standard coding method of the general moving picture. After the subband decomposition is applied to split an input image into 4 bands in the spatial frequency domain, the motion compensated DPCM coding method of MPEG-2 is carried out for each subband. As a result, an easily controllable coding Structure is accomplished by composing the compound hit stream for each subband group. Follows are the simulation results of the proposed sheme for the angiography. A scalable structure which can be easily controlled for a loss of transmission or the band limit can be accomplisbed in the MPEG-2 stucture by the subband decomposition minimizing the side information. And by reducing the search area of the motion vector between -4 and 3, the processing speed of a codec is enhanced by more than two times without a loss of the picture quality compare with the conventional DCT coefficients decompositon method. And the processing speed is considerably improved in the case of the parallel construction of each subband in the hardware.
