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.

Wavelet transformation in image compression is to offer higher image compressibility and high-quality by quantization and entropy encoding. More image quality is good that reconstructed image by wavelet calculation than acquire cosine transform. Therefore, wavelet itself is function if it is wavelet's feature, in this function, do processing applying difference scale and resolution. That is, this is not that fixed resolution has been decided like existent compression way, when it regulated scale, damage goes in pixel and picture looks like break without giving damage entirely in reflex even if magnify or curtail Decoding. Therefore, this paper is in Image that using new wavelet application compression way research that see applies comparing In each image noted this time compressing step by step with circle image compression efficiency recognize. Also, estimated quality pass through by printing of compressed image, investigated compression ratio of most suitable that get print of high quality and elevation of transmission speed.

영상의 주파수 정보와 공간 정보를 동시에 제공하는 웨이브렛 변환(Wavelet transform)은 영상압축에 매우 효과적임이 밝혀졌고, 최근 들어 웨이브렛 변환 방법으로 다해상도 분해된 영상에 여러 가지 부호화 알고리즘을 적용하는 것에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 웨이브렛 변환으로 다해상도 분해된 적외선 영상에 픽셀간의 상관도와 '0' 정보를 모아 효과적으로 압축할 수 있는 양자화 기법인 쿼드트리 기반 블록 양자화(Quadtree based block quantization)를 적용하여 영상을 압축하는 방법을 제안한파. 웨이브렛 변환된 계수는 스케일간 상잔도가 놀고, 집중도가 높기 때문에 쿼드트리를 적용할 경우 효과적으로 데이터량을 줄일 수 있다. 실험영상으로 256${\times}$256 크기의 8〔bit〕 적외선영상을 이용하고, DCT 압축기법과 제안한 기법을 비교 평가한다.

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).

The Wavelet Transform providing both of the frequency and time information of an image is proved to be very much effective for the compression of images, and recently lot of studies on coding algorithms for images decomposed by the wavelet transform together with the multiresolution theory are going on. This paper proposes a Quadtree decompositon method of image compression applied to the images decomposed by wavelet transform by using the correlations between pixels .Since the coefficients obtained by the wavelet transform have high correlations between scales, the Quadtree method can reduce the data quantity effectively The experimental image with 256${\times}$256 size was used to compare the Performances of the existing and the proposed compression methods.

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.

본 논문은 고해상도 위성영상의 압축성능을 분석한 것이다. 위성영상처리에 있어 위성 영상은 고 해상도이고, 많은 픽셀정보를 보유하고 있어 영상처리는 많은 시간이 소요된다. 따라서 보다 효율적인 작업을 위해 영상압축과 복원이 필요하다. 위성영상의 압축과 복원에 있어 도로, 건물, 숲 둥에 관한 정보를 유지하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고해상도와 분광반사특성 유지하면서 영상데이터를 효율적으로 압축 및 복원할 수 있는 기법들인 PEG와 웨이브렛 변환(wavelet transform)을 이용한 지도영상의 압축성능을 비교분석 하였다. 이 결과 JPEG보다 WSQ압축 알고리즘이 지도영상 압축에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

Wavelet transform is widely used for high compression ratio image compression. It requeires a large memory when it is implemented by a hardware. Therefore, it is efficient to divide the entire image into blocks. Because the wavelet transform for divided blocks causes losses, pixels of the adjacent blocks are used. In the case of color image compression, the image is decomposed into brightness and color components, and then color components are downsampled. When the wavelet transform is performed by using pixels of adjacentblocks, the number of necessary pixels are doubled due to downsampling of color components. In this paper, we propose an efficient block wavelet transform using variablefilter length for brightness and color components. By using the proposed method, the number of pixels of adjacent blocks is optimized. We show the degradation of image quality due to the reduction of filter length for color components is negligible through simulations.

본 논문에서는 일반적으로 잡음이 있는 MR 영상의 배경 영역을 영역분활 알고리듬으로 제거하고 이영역분할의 정보를 손실 부호화에 이용함으로써 데이터의 압축 효율을 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 영역분할 알고리듬은 여역의특성 추출을 위해 전해상도 웨이블렛 변화(full-resolution wavelet transform)을 이용하며, 얻은 특성등의 분류를 위해 Kohonen self-organizing map을 사용한다. 웨이블렛 변환을 이용한 부호기에서는 영역분활 결과 진단에 의미없는 부분으로 판단된 영역은 부호화 하지 않음으로써 압축효율을 향상시킨다. 제안한 알고리듬으로 MR영상들을 부호화한 결과, 영역분할 정보를 이용하지 않을 경우보다 평균적으로 약 15%정도의 비트율의 절약을 가져올 수 있었으며, 같은 압축률일 경우에는 복원된 영상이 JPEG에서보다 좋은 화질을 나타내었다.
