Image quality index of the monochrome portrait archival photographs’ compression

Abstract. The recent process of digitalizing archives has increased the importance of choosing the best compression method and evaluating the quality of the compressed materials. Our paper focuses on monochrome portrait photographs. We suggest using an image quality index partly based on Human Visual System. We think that, despite its simplicity, it equals with Mean Subjective Rank. In addition...

Image quality index of the monochrome archival photographs' compression

The recent process of digitalizing archives has increased the importance of choosing the best compression method and evaluating the quality of the compressed materials. Our paper focuses on monochrome photographs. We suggest a new image quality index partly based on Human Visual System. We think that, despite its simplicity, it is equal to Mean Subjective Rank. In addition, we intend to ascerta...

A Grid-Based Image Archival and Analysis System

j J Am Med Inform Assoc. 2005;12:286–295. DOI 10.1197/jamia.M1698. The use of biomedical imaging is growing in prevalence and has become a key component in both basic research and clinical practice. Although advances in data acquisition technologies have improved the resolution and speed at which we can collect image data, most researchers have access to a limited research repository mainly due...

Model-based VQ for image data archival, retrieval, and distribution

An ideal image compression technique for image data archival, retrieval and distribution would be one with the asymmetrical computational requirements of Vector Quantization (VQ), but without the complications arising from VQ codebooks. Codebook generation and maintenance are stumbling blocks •which have limited the use of VQ as a practical image compression algorithm. Model-based YQ (MVQ), a v...
