Newly developed communication-and information networks offer a large number of services which make use of image data, leading to an increasing demand for image storage systems. This paper focuses on a new emerging technology, namely image data compression techniques for digital recording. image coding for storage equipment covers a large variety of systems because the applications differ consid...

Most information received by the human is acquired through vision. However, image has the largest data amount in three information forms. If the image is not compressed, high transmission rate for digital image transmission and tremendous capacity for digital image storage can hinder the development of digital image. For example, for a color image whose resolution rate is 1280×1024, each pixel ...

BACKGROUND Digital mammography is slowly replacing screen film mammography. In digital mammography, 2 methods are available in acquiring images: digital storage phosphor plate and full-field digital mammography. The aim of this study was to compare the image quality acquired from the 2 methods of digital mammography in the detection of breast cancer. METHODS The study took place at the Nation...

Images are an important part of today's digital world. However, due to the large quantity of data is needed to represent modern imagery; the storage of such data can be expensive. Thus, the work on efficient image storage (image compression) has the potential to reduce storage costs and enable new applications. Block Truncation Coding (BTC) is a lossy image compression technique which uses mome...

Image processing field has been revolutionized by advancements in imaging technologies. Due to increasing requirements for transmission and storage of images in computer and mobile devices, the research in image compression has increased significantly. Digital images in their uncompressed form require a large amount of storage space and transmission bandwidth. Image compression reduces the stor...

This chapter presents a high-level overview of image formation in a digital camera, highlighting aspects of potential interest in forensic applications. The discussion here focuses on image processing, especially processing steps related to concealing artifacts caused by camera hardware or that tend to create artifacts themselves. Image storage format issues are also discussed.

Microarray technology is a new and powerful tool for concurrent monitoring of large number of genes expressions. Each microarray experiment produces hundreds of images. Each digital image requires a large storage space. Hence, real-time processing of these images and transmission of them necessitates efficient and custom-made lossless compression schemes. In this paper, we offer a new archi...

introduction: nutritional quality of food during storage has become increasingly an important problem. the loss of some nutrients such as ascorbic acid (vitamin c) might be a critical factor for the shelf life of some products as citrus juice concentrates, since vitamin c content of citrus juices undergoes destruction during storage (plaza et al., 2011a). ascorbic acid is an important component...
