This paper analyses wavelet filters and SPIHT encoding techniques in compression and decompression of medical images. Medical images acquired have uneven aspect ratio, region of interest decides the aspect ratio, and compression algorithm performance varies based on aspect ratio. This paper tries to offer a novel algorithm that preprocesses the input image with uniform aspect ratio prior to com...

Due to the increasing traffic caused by multimedia information and digitized form of representation of images; image compression has become a necessity. New algorithms for image compression based on wavelets have been developed which offers considerable improvement in picture quality at high compression ratios. To achieve lowest errors per compression rate and highest perceptual quality, the ex...

The recent development in the digital electronics and computer engineering has resulted in generation of large amount of data in the digital form. High resolution images are required in many fields such as remote sensing, criminal investigation, medical imaging etc. This motivates the need of compression of the size of the data. The main objective of the present study is to obtain better qualit...

This paper deals with performance evaluation of well known image compression algorithm i.e. wavelet based image compression Set Partition in hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) and decomposition algorithm known as Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Due to multi resolution nature of wavelet transforms, SPIHT provides better image compression at higher compression ratio. The techniques are implemented in ...

The efficient compression of medical images is important for improved storage and network utilization. The Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) baseline compression algorithm has been widely used in medical image compression. In contrast, JPEG2000 is a relative new compression standard. The purpose of this study is to provide a quantitative comparison of JPEG and JPEG2000 compression effects...

Over the last years, wavelet theory has been used with great success in a wide range of applications as signal denoising and image compression. An ideal image compression system must yield high-quality compressed image with high compression ratio. This paper attempts to find the most useful wavelet function to compress an image among the existing members of wavelet families. Our idea is that a ...

This paper improves an existing work of compressing DNA sequences. Previously the compression was achieved with two processors; in this paper, 4-core and 8-core capacity is used and this was done using ParPro simulator. The improvement of compression of Genome sequences which are sourced from standard DNA databanks are tabulated and compared with existing compressors. Basic technique of compres...

In this paper, a comparative study of compression algorithms is presented. An objective picture quality measures like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE) are used to measure the picture quality and comparison is done based upon the results of these quality measures. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) based intelligent image compression achieves better results as compared ...

Image compression is one of the most important applications Digital Image Processing. Advanced medical imaging requires storage of large quantities of digitized clinical data. Due to the constrained bandwidth and storage capacity, however, a medical image must be compressed before transmission and storage. There are two types of compression methods, lossless and lossy. In Lossless compression m...
