In this paper, the lossless compression method is proposed for an 8-bit bitplane of the input image. The lower bitplanes are not well compressed because of irregularity of pixels. To overcome these drawbacks, this paper propose a mixed coding method that using the block-based lossless compression and the bit-based losselss compression, introducing the H. 264 and the JBIG. First, to take advantage of the characteristics of the bitplanes, 8-bitplane against the top 4 bits and lower 4 bits were separated. Next, the JBIG compression method was used in separated top 4-bitplane because of a lot of correlation between bits. And a separated lower 4-bitplane was applied the improved method that using the H. 264 lossless prediction. A pre-processing method applied to the lower 4-bitplane then irregular distribution of pixel values are converted to regular. Using the proposed method to test for various test images were performed. Experimental results from a printer using 8-bit image compared to JBIG average 19%, lower 4bit image compression performance with an average of 11% could be obtained.

In this paper, a predictor switching algorithm for lossless compression is proposed. It uses adaptively one of two predictors using errors obtained by MED(median edge detector) and GAP(gradient adaptive prediction). The reduced error is measured by existing entropy method. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can compress higher than existing predictive methods.

This paper describes an in-line lossless data compression method using adaptive binary arithmetic coding. To achieve better compression efficiency , we employ an adaptive fuzzy -tuning modeler, which uses fuzzy inference to deal with the problem of conditional probability estimation. The design is simple, fast and suitable for VLSI implementation because we adopt the table -look-up approach. As compared with the out-comes of other lossless coding schemes, our results are good and satisfactory for various types of source data.

Large medical images in PACS are compressed for saving storage space and improving network speed. The integrated compression environment was designed and developed for uniting of various compression methods. Various compression algorithm-RLE compression, lossless JEPG, JPEG, was built into it, complying with DICOM. A image compression using DWT was also implemented in it. And a unified algorithm of lossless compression and lossy compression was designed to improve images quality and to make compression ratios high. And integrated compression environment was operating together with a database program for efficient and user-friendly management.

In this paper, using ranks of co-occurrence frequency about indices in pairs of neighboring pixels, we introduce a new re-indexing algorithm for efficiency of index color image lossless compression. The proposed algorithm is suitable for arithmetic coding because it has concentrated distributions of small variance. Experimental results proved that the proposed algorithm reduces the bit rates than other coding schemes, more specifically $15\%$, $54\%$ and $12\%$ for LZW algorithm of GIF, the plain arithmetic coding method and Zeng's scheme, respectively.

This paper presents new prediction methods to improve compression performance of the so-called near-lossless RGB-domain image coder, which is designed to effectively decrease the memory bandwidth of a system-on-chip (SoC) for image processing. First, variable block size (VBS)-based intra prediction is employed to eliminate spatial redundancy for the green (G) component of an input image on a pixel-line basis. Second, inter-color prediction (ICP) using spectral correlation is performed to predict the R and B components from the previously reconstructed G-component image. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves coding efficiency by up to 30% compared with an existing algorithm for natural images, and improves coding efficiency with low computational cost by about 50% for computer graphics (CG) images.

In this paper, we propose adaptive near-lossless image coding algorithm according to bandwidth while maintaining image quality. The proposed method adjusts error range using amounts of encoded bits and target bits at a slice encoding interval. Experimental results show that our proposed method not only almost fits compression into bandwidth, but also has better image quality.

This paper focuses on lossless medical image compression methods for medical images that operate on two-dimensional(2D) reversible integer wavelet transform. We offer an application of the Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees(SPIHT) algorithm [1][3][9] to medical images, using a 2D wavelet decomposition and a 2D spatial dependence tree. The wavelet decomposition is accomplished with integer wavelet filters implemented with the lifting method, where careful scaling and truncations keep the integer precision small and the transform unitary. We have tested our encoder on medical images using different integer filters. Results show that our algorithm with certain filters performs as well and sometimes better in lossless coding than previous coding systems using 2D integer wavelet transforms on medical images.

In this paper, the wavelet transform based lossless image compression algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm transforms the input image using 9/7 ICFB and S+P filter, and eliminates the spacious correlation of the subband coefficients, applying the context modeling predictive technique based on the multi-resolution structure and the feedback of the prediction error. The prediction context exploits the subordination and direction property of the different level subband in the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal subband coefficients. The simulation result of the high frequency images such as PEPPERS, BOAT, and AIRPLANE shows that the proposed algorithm efficiently predicts the edge area of each multi-resolution subband.

In this paper, we propose efficient rate control algorithm for video near-lossless compression. The proposed method adjusts pixel error range using amounts of previous encoded bits and target bits at a slice encoding interval. Thus, encoded bits by the proposed method are transmitted well through limited bandwidth without overflow. Also, target bits and encoded bits can be controlled according to transmission policy. Experimental results show that our proposed method not only almost fits compression ratio, but also has better image quality.
