Purpose : To determine the proper image compression method and ratio without image quality degradation in intraoral digital radiographic images, comparing the discrete cosine transform (DCT)-based JPEG with the wavelet-based JPEG 2000 algorithm. Materials and Methods : Thirty extracted sound teeth and thirty extracted teeth with occlusal caries were used for this study. Twenty plaster blocks were made with three teeth each. They were radiographically exposed using CDR sensors (Schick Inc., Long Island, USA). Digital images were compressed to JPEG format, using Adobe Photoshop v.7.0 and JPEG 2000 format using Jasper program with compression ratios of 5 : 1,9 : 1, 14 : 1,28 : 1 each. To evaluate the lesion detectability, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed by the three oral and maxillofacial radiologists. To evaluate the image quality, all the compressed images were assessed subjectively using 5 grades, in comparison to the original uncompressed images. Results: Compressed images up to compression ratio of 14 : 1 in JPEG and 28 : 1 in JPEG 2000 showed nearly the same the lesion detectability as the original images. In the subjective assessment of image quality, images up to compression ratio of 9 : 1 in JPEG and 14 : 1 in JPEG 2000 showed minute mean paired differences from the original Images. Conclusion : The results showed that the clinically acceptable compression ratios were up to 9 : 1 for JPEG and 14 : 1 for JPEG 2000. The wavelet-based JPEG 2000 is a better compression method, comparing to DCT-based JPEG for intraoral digital radiographic images.

This paper presents the implementation of a EBCOT TIER-1 for JPEG2000 Encoder. JPEG2000 is new standard for the compression of still image for overcome the artifact of JPEG. JPEG2000 standard is based on DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) and EBCOT Entropy coding technology. EBCOT(Embedded block coding with optimized truncation) is the most important technology that is compressed the image data in the JPEG2000. However, EBCOT has the artifact because the operations are bit-level processing and occupy the harf of the computation time of JPEG2000 Compression. Therefore, in this paper, we present modified context extraction method for enhance EBCOT computational efficiency and implemented MQ- Coder as arithmetic coder. The proposed system is implemented by Verilog-HDL, under the condition of TSMC 0.25um ASIC library, gate counts are 30,511EA and satisfied the 50MHz operating condition.

This paper is designed for hardware to be applied to JPEG2000 standard in the fields of digital photography, remote sensing, aerial remote telemetry, medical imaging, high resolution, and high compression telemetry applications. The software implementation of the JPEG2000 standard for image compression has disadvantages that the processing speed is very slow compared to the conventional JPEG, also the degradation occurs when the DWT level of the JPEG2000 standard is improved. In order to solve this problem, we designed and applied JPEG2000 compression/decompressor. In this paper, the hardware of the JPEG 2000 compression/storage device shows optimal compression speed, faster processing speed, and the image quality for still images by changing the optimal DWT level.

In this paper, a particular application of digital photos, remote sensing, remote shooting air moving, high-resolution and high compression of medical images required by remote shooting of JPEG2000 standard applied in the field of hardware design, production was implemented. JPEG2000 standard for image compression using the software implementation of the processing speed is very slow compared to conventional JPEG disadvantages, and also the standard of JPEG2000 DWT (Discrete wavelet transform) to improve the level of compression for image data if processing speed is a phenomenon that has degraded. In order to solve these JPEG2000 compression / decompression groups were designed and applied. In this paper, the optimal JPEG2000 compression / reservoir hardware by changing the level for still image compression, faster computation speed and quality has shown improvement.

This paper presents a modified QIM-JPEG2000 steganography which improves the previous JPEG2000 steganography using quantization index modulation (QIM). Post-embedding changes in file size and PSNR by the modified QIM-JPEG2000 are smaller than those by the previous QIM-JPEG2000. Steganalysis experiments to determine whether messages are embedded in given JPEG2000 images show that the modified QIM-JPEG2000 is more secure than the previous QIMJPEG2000.

In order to overcome many defects in the current JPEG standard of still image compression, the new JPEG2000 standard has been development. The JPEG2000 standard is based on the principles of DWT and EBCOT Entropy Coding. EBCOT(Embedded block coding with optimized truncation) is the most important technology in the latest image-coding standard, JPEG2000. However, EBCOT occupies the highest computation time to operate bit-level processing. Therefore, many researches have achieved methods to minimize computation speed of EBCOT. Thus, this paper proposes the method of context-extraction that improves computational architecture. This paper proposes efficient context coding method. The proposed algorithm would apply to hard-wired JPEG2000 Encoder that is used for compression of high resolution image.

Image compression schemes, such as JPEG and JPEG2000, degrade the Quality of a reconstructed image due to their lossy characteristics. Accordingly, this paper investigates the relationship between the compression ratio and the gamut variation for a reconstructed image using JPEG and JPEG2000. To analyze the relationship between compression ratio and gamut variation, i.e. the hue and chroma shift in the uniform color space, eighteen color samples from the Macbeth ColorChecker are initially used. Based on the color shift phenomenon for the color samples, twelve natural color images, classified into two groups depending on four color attributes, are also used to investigate the relationship between the level of compression and the variation in the gamut area. As a results, through the experiments, least square method is applied to obtain the fitting curves as an equation minimizing the error between the real data and its corresponding approximated values.

In this paper, a new improved EREC based error resilient coding in JPEG-2000 standard is proposed, considering the error sensitive wireless environment with limited channel capacity. In order to apply EREC, we use the variable bit-rate by using R-D optimization. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed EREC based error resilient coding is more resilient than the error resilient schemes used in JPEG-2000.

압축된 영상에서 관심 영역은 다른 영역보다 중요하다. 여러 응용에서 관심영역은 높은 압축율을 요구할 뿐만 아니라 고화질도 요구되고 있다. JPEG2000에서 제안하고 있는 Maxshift 방법과 Scaling based 방법은 각각 비트율이 증가하는 것과 별도의 복호기를 필요로 하는 등의 문제가 있다. 이러한 점을 개선하기 위해서 JPEG2000 Part 1의 Maxshift 방법에 기반한 관심영역 스케일링 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에 의하여 관심영역이 무손실 복원되기 전에 일정량의 배경정보를 복원할 수 있는 기능이 JPEG2000 복호기에서 수행될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
