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.

In this paper, the lossy image compression algorithm using the quad tree and the bandlets is proposed. The proposed algorithm transforms input images by the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and represents the geometrical structures of high frequency bands using the bandlets with a 8 block- size. In addition, the proposed algorithm searches the position information of the significant coefficients by using the quad tree algorithm and computes the magnitude and the sign information of the significant coefficients by using the Embedded Image Coding using Zerotrees of Wavelet Coefficients (EZW) algorithm. The compression result by using the quad tree algorithm improves the PSNR performance of high frequency images up to 1 dB, compared to that of JPEG-2000 algorithm and that of S+P algorithm. The PSNR performance by using DWT and bandlets improves up to 7.5dB, compared to that by using only DWT.

Data compression is very important for the storage and transmission of informations. EZW image compression algorithm has been widely used in real application due to its high compression performance. In the EZW algorithm, when a new significant coefficient is generated, its children are all encoded, although its all descendants may be insignificant, and thus its performance is declined. In this paper, we proposed an improved EZW algorithm using IS(Isolated Significant) symbol, which checks all descendants of significant coefficient and avoids encoding the children of each newly generated significant coefficient if it has no significant descendant.

The textual image compression by pattern matching is a coding scheme that exploits the correlations between patterns. When we compress the Hangul (Korean character) text by patern matching, the collerations between patterns may decrease due to randoem contacts between phonemes. Therefore in this paper we separate connected phonemes to exploit effectively the corrlation between patterns by inducting the amtch. In the process of sequation, we decide whether the patterns have vowel component or not, and then vowels connected with consonant ae separated. When we compare the proposed algorithm with the existing algorith, the compression ratio is increased by 1.3%-3.0% than PMS[5] in lossy mode, by 3.4%-9.1% in lossless mode than that of SPM[7] which is submitted to standard committe for second generation binary compression algorithm.

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.

이 논문은 3차원 정수 웨이브릿 변환을 이용한 손실 의료 영상 압축에 대한 방법을 보여준다. 의료영상에 3차원 웨이브릿 분할법과 3차원 spatial dependence tree를 이용한 Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees(SPIHT) algorithm을 제공한다. 또한 3차원 웨이브릿 분할법에서 정수 웨이브릿 필터들을 이용한 lifting방법을 이용하고, unitary 변환을 만들기 위하여 정확한 scaling을 이용한다. 압축률이 증가하면 할수록 인접한 coding unit사이에선 boundary effect가 생긴다. Video와 같지 않아서 인접한 coding unit사이에서의 boundary artifact는 보여서는 안 된다. 이러한 현상을 제거하기 위해서 인접한 coding unit사이에 axial domain으로 overlapping방법을 사용한다. 또한 코딩 할 때 여러 종류의 정수 필터들을 사용한다. 결과로 어떤 특정한 필터를 사용할 때 좋은 결과를 얻었고 overlapping방법을 사용했기 때문에 ringing artifacts는 거의 찾아 볼 수가 없게 되었다. 그리고 어두운 면을 코딩 할 때도 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

$\cdot$ 영상 압축은 영상의 통계학적 분포, 반복성을 이용하여 빈도가 높은 데이터는 적은 수의 bits를, 빈도가 낮은 데이터에는 보다 많은 수의 bits를 할당하여 전체 영상을 나타내는 bits 수를 줄이는 것임. $\cdot$ 영상 압축은 크게 Lossy Coding, Lossless Coding으로 나뉘며, Lossy coding은 DCT, 양자화기, VLC Codes를 쓰며 압축 율은 높으나 원래의 영상을 정확히 복원하지 못함. $\cdot$ 영상 압축에 대한 국제 규격 협회는 JPEG, MPEG I, MPEG II, MPEG IV, H.261, H.263 등이 있으나 본 seminar에서는 JPEG 규격만 논함. $\cdot$ 의학 영상은 Resolution이 크고 study 단위로 관리되기 때문에 영상 데이터량이 많으나 진단의 목적으로 쓰이기 때문에 주로 lossless 압축을 쓰게 되나 압축율이 낮음.(3:1 이하). 최근에는 Fractal, Wavelet Coding을 통한 압축율을 증가 시키는 Image Compression Algorithms이 활용됨. $\cdot$ MPEG은 동영상의 압축 표준안이며, 동영상은 한frame 당 25개 이상의 정지 화상으로 이루어지기 때문에 JPEG 규격에서 사용되었던 기법이 그대로 활용되며 영상과 영상간, 또는 frame과 frame 간의 여상의 변화, 움직임을 Vector로 coding하는 interframe Coding 기법을 활용하나 설명하기에는 광범위한 topic이므로 본 seminar에서는 생략함.

Vector data represents a map by its coordinate and Raster data represents a map by its pixel. Since these data types have very large data size, data compression procedure is a compulsory process. This paper compare the results from three different methodologies; GIS (Geographic Information System) vector map data compression using DP(Douglas-Peucker) Simplification algorithm, vector data compression based on Bin classification and the combination between two previous methods. The results shows that the combination between the two methods have the best performance among the three tested methods. The proposed method can achieve 4-9% compression ratio while the other methods show a lower performance.

Satellite Image archiving system requires large storage and long transmission time. A simple and cheap way of overcoming these limitations is to increase the compression ratio. However this requires a feasibility study for accurate applications. Here, a new still image compression standard is being developed, the JPEG2000. It provides lossless and lossy compression, progressive transmission by pixel accuracy and by resolution, region-of-interest coding, user-defined tiling size, random codestream access and processing etc. In this study, we will briefly introduce the JPEG2000 compression standard which provides a new compression technique based on the wavelet technology and offers better compression ratios, and evaluate the compression ratios of JPEG2000 for satellite image by performing various image quality tests. Also, we will compare brief test result using the commercial remote sensing software.

Data compression becomes increasingly an important issue for reducing data storage spaces as well as transmis-sion time in network environments. In 3D geometric models, the normal vectors of faces or meshes take a major portion of the data so that the compression of the vectors, which involves the trade off between the distortion of the images and compression ratios, plays a key role in reducing the size of the models. So, raising the compression ratio when the normal vector is compressed and minimizing the visual distortion of shape model's shading after compression are important. According to the recent papers, normal vector compression is useful to heighten com-pression ratio and to improve memory efficiency. But, the study about distortion of shading when the normal vector is compressed is rare relatively. In this paper, new normal vector compression method which is clustering normal vectors and assigning Representative Normal Vector (RNV) to each cluster and using the angular deviation from actual normal vector is proposed. And, using this new method, Visually Undistinguishable Lossy Compression (VULC) algorithm which distortion of shape model's shading by angular deviation of normal vector cannot be identified visually has been developed. And, being applied to the complicated shape models, this algorithm gave a good effectiveness.
