A wavelet-based image compression system allowing both lossless and lossy image compression is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm consists of the two stages. The first stage uses the wavelet packet transform and the quad-tree coding scheme for the lossy compression. In the second stage, the residue image taken between the original image and the lossy reconstruction image is coded for the lossless image compression by using the integer wavelet transform and the context based predictive technique with feedback error. The proposed wavelet-based algorithm, allowing an optional lossless reconstruction of a given image, transmits progressively image materials and chooses an appropriate wavelet filter in each stage. The lossy compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 1 dB PSNR performance of the high frequency image, compared to that of JPEG-2000 algorithm and that of S+P algorithm. In addition, the lossless compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 0.39 compression rates of the high frequency image, compared to that of the existing algorithm.

Medical image compression using the wavelet transform has been tried. Due to the flexibility in representing nonstationary image signal in both time and frequency domains and its ability to adapt human visual characteristics, wavelet transform has unique advantage in images compression. In the proposed wavelet compression original image is decomposed into multi-scale bands. Different scale factors are employed in the quantization of wavelet decomposed images in different bands. For the lowest band, a predictor is designed and error signal is entropy coded. For high scale bands, runlength coding for toro run is used with Huffman coding. From simulation with magnetic resonance images($256\times256$ size, 256 graylevels) the proposed algorithm is superior to the JPEG by more than 2.5 dB in near lossless compression (CR = 8 - 10).

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, we propose the lossless image compression algorithm using the integer wavelet transform. Recently, the S＋P transform is widely used and computed with only integer addition and bit-shift operations, but not proper to remove the correlation of smooth images. then we compare the Harr wavelet of the S＋P transform with various integer coefficient filter banks and apply 9/7 ICFB to the wavelet transform. In addition, we propose a entropy-coding method that exploits the multiresolution structure and the feedback of the prediction error, and can efficiently compress the transformed image for progressive transmission. Simulation results are compared to the compression ratio using the S+P transform with different types of 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.

웨이블릿 변환에 기반을 둔 영상 압축은 기존의 JPEG과 비교했을 때, 블록 형태의 잡음이 나타나지 않고 화소 당 비트 수를 적게 압축할 때의 화질이 우수하므로 산업계에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이산 웨이블릿 변환에 의해서 생성되는 계수들은 양자화 과정을 거쳐서 코드 비트 수를 줄이게 된다. 양자화 다음에는 무손실 부호화 과정을 통해서 코드 비트 수를 더 감소시킨다. 본 논문은 생성된 계수들의 통계적 특성을 바탕으로 양자화된 계수들에 대하여 효율적으로 무손실 부호화를 수행하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제시하고 있다. 이산 웨이블릿 변환과 양자화 과정을 결합하여 본 알고리즘을 0.5㎛ 표준 셀 방식의 영상 압축 칩으로 구현한 결과, 효율성과 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

Since the progress of digital medical imaging techniques, it has been needed to compress the variety of medical images. In medical imaging, reversible compression of image's region of interest (ROI) which is diagnostically relevant is considered essential. Then, improving the global compression rate of the image can also be obtained by separately coding the ROI part and the remaining image (called background). For this purpose, the present work proposes an efficient reversible discrete cosine transform (RDCT) based embedded image coder designed for lossless ROI coding in very high compression ratio. Motivated by the wavelet structure of DCT, the proposed rearranged structure is well coupled with a lossless embedded zerotree wavelet coder (LEZW), while the background is highly compressed using the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) technique. Results coding shows that the performance of the proposed new coder is much superior to that of various state-of-art still image compression methods.

ECG data are used for the diagnostic purposes with many clinical situations, especially heart disease. In this paper, an efficient ECG data compression technique by wavelet transform and high-speed vector quantization on PMS-B algorithm is proposed. In general, ECG data compression techniques are divided into two categories: direct and transform methods. The direct data compression techniques are AZTEC, TP, CORTES, FAN and SAPA algorithms, besides the transform methods include K-L, Fourier, Walsh, and wavelet transforms. In this paper, we applied wavelet analysis to the ECG data. In particular, vector quantization on PMS-B algorithm to the wavelet coefficients in the higher frequency regions, but scalar quantized in the lower frequency regions by PCM. Finally, the quantized indices were compressed by LZW lossless entropy encoder. As the result of simulation, it turns out to get sufficient compression ratio while keeping clinically acceptable PRD.
