In this report, we propose a non-separable two-dimensional (2D) Lossless Wavelet Transform (LWT) for image compression. Filter characteristics of our proposed LWT are the same as those or conventional 2D LWT based on applying 1D LWT twice but our coding performance is better due to reduction of rounding effects. Simulation results confirm effectiveness of our proposed LWT.

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.

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.

본 논문은 입력 영상 데이터를 블록 적응적으로 Context Tree Weighting을 사용하여 산술 부호 기반의 무손실 영상 압축 방법을 제안한다. CTW 기법은 입력 데이터를 비트 단위로 예측 및 압축을 하는 특성을 가진다. 또한, CTW 기법은 미지의 모델 및 파라미터에 대해서도 효율적인 압축을 한다는 점에서 장점을 보여준다. 본 연구에서는 무손실 압축이 필요한 항공 및 위성 사진을 옵션 정보에 따라 분할한 다음 각각 CTW 기반의 산술 부호기를 적용하여 압축의 효율을 증대하고자 한다. 항공 및 위성 사진은 영상 내 정보의 가치가 높으므로 무손실 압축이 불가피하다. 또한, 영상 크기가 일반적인 영상에 비해 크기 때문에 고압축 역시 필요하다. 기존의 무손실 압축 기법으로는 대용량의 중요 영상을 압축하는 데에 어려움이 존재한다. 이러한 이유로, 본 논문에서는 분할하지 않은 영상을 압축할 때 보다 제안하는 방법을 통해 영상을 압축했을 때 더 높은 압축률을 보여주기 위한 실험을 제공한다. 실험을 통해 기존의 무손실 압축 기법을 사용하여 압축을 진행했을 때 보다 CTW 기법을 이용하여 분할한 영상을 압축했을 때의 압축률이 더 높음을 확인할 수 있다.

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.

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 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.

본 논문에서는 무손실 영상 압축의 효율을 높이가 위해 새로운 문맥 기반 적응적 이진 산술 부호화(context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding, CABAC) 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 H.264/AVC의 CABAC은 손실 (loosy) 부호화 환경에 적합하게 설계되었기 때문에, 무손실 (lossless) 부호화 환경에서 최적의 부호화 성능을 제공하지 못한다. 따라서, 무손실 화면내 부호화 환경에서 잔여 신호의 통계적 특성을 고려하여 향상된 CABAC 기반의 잔여 신호 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과로부터 무손실 화면내 부호화 환경에서 본 논문에서 제안하는 향상된 CABAC 방법이 기존의 CABAC 방법에 비해 평균적으로 약 18.2% 정도의 비트 수를 감소시키는 것을 확인했다.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a promising active remote sensing technique to obtain large terrain information of the earth in all-weather conditions. SAR is useful in many applications, including terrain mapping and geographic information system (GIS), which use SAR display images. Usually, these applications need the enormous data storage because they deal with wide terrain images with high resolution. So, compression technique is a useful approach to deal with SAR display images with limited storage. Because there is some indispensable data loss through the conversion of a complex SAR image to a display image, some applications, which need high-resolution images, cannot tolerate more data loss during compression. Therefore, lossless compression is appropriate to these applications. In this paper, we propose a novel lossless compression technique for a SAR display image using one-step predictor and block arithmetic coding.
