Wavelet Compression of Medical Images with Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wavelet-based image compression is proving to be a very effective technique for medical images, giving significantly better results than the JPEG algorithm. A novel scheme for encoding wavelet coefficients, termed set partitioning in hierarchical trees, has recently been proposed and yields significantly better compression than more standard methods. We report the results of experiments comparing such coding to more conventional wavelet compression and to JPEG compression on several types of medical images.

This paper describes the compression of grayscale medical ultrasound images using a new compression technique, space-frequency segmentation. This method finds the rate-distortion optimal representation of an image from a large set of possible space-frequency partitions and quantizer combinations. The method is especially effective when the images to code are statistically inhomogeneous, which i...
