Lossy Compression of Scanned Map Images
An algorithm for lossy compression of scanned map images is proposed. The algorithm is based on color quantization, efficient statistical context tree modeling and arithmetic coding. The ratedistortion performance is evaluated on a set of scanned maps and compared to JPEG2000 lossy compression algorithm, and to ECW, which is a commercially available solution for compression of satellite and aer...
متن کاملData compression of scanned halftone images
A new method for coding scanned halftone images is proposed. It is information-lossy, but still preserving the image quality, compression rates of 16-35 have been achieved for a typical test image scanned on a high resolution scanner. The bi-level halftone images are filtered, in phase with the halftone grid, and converted to a gray level representation. A new digital description of (halftone) ...
متن کاملUltrasonic elastography using sector scan imaging and a radial compression.
Elastography is an imaging technique based on strain estimation in soft tissues under quasi-static compression. The stress is usually created by a compression plate, and the target is imaged by an ultrasonic linear array. This configuration is used for breast elastography, and has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Phenomena such as strain decay with tissue depth and strai...
متن کاملA FILTERED B-SPLINE MODEL OF SCANNED DIGITAL IMAGES
We present an approach for modeling and filtering digitally scanned images. The digital contour of an image is segmented to identify the linear segments, the nonlinear segments and critical corners. The nonlinear segments are modeled by B-splines. To remove the contour noise, we propose a weighted least q m s model to account for both the fitness of the splines as well as their approximate cur...
متن کاملA Sparse Reconstruction Algorithm for Ultrasonic Images in Nondestructive Testing
Ultrasound imaging systems (UIS) are essential tools in nondestructive testing (NDT). In general, the quality of images depends on two factors: system hardware features and image reconstruction algorithms. This paper presents a new image reconstruction algorithm for ultrasonic NDT. The algorithm reconstructs images from A-scan signals acquired by an ultrasonic imaging system with a monostatic t...
