Compression of medical images has always been viewed with skepticism since the loss of information involved is thought to affect diagnostic information. Recent reports, however, indicate that some wavelet based compression techniques may not effectively reduce the image quality even when subjected to compression ratios (CRs) up to 30:1. Although generation of minimum distortion at a specific bit rate by vector quantization (VQ) has been theoretically proven from rate distortion theory almost half a century ago, practical implementation of VQ for small sizes and classes of images has been accomplished relatively recently. Many of the earlier algorithms using simple statistical clustering suffer from a number of problems namely lack of convergence, getting trapped in local minima, and inability to handle large datasets. More advanced vector quantization algorithms have eliminated some of the above problems. However, vector quantization of large data sets as encountered in many medical images still remains a challenging problem. We present here an adaptive vector quantization technique including an entropy coding module that is capable of encoding large size radiographic as well as color images with minimum distortion in the decoded images even at CRs above 100:1.

In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive arithmetic coding method that uses dual symbol sets: A primary symbol set that contains all the symbols that are likely to occur in the near future and a secondary symbol set that contains all other symbols. The simplest implementation of our method assumes that symbols that have appeared in the recent past are highly likely to appear in the near future. It therefore fills the primary set with symbols that have occurred in the recent past. Symbols move dynamically between the two symbol sets to adapt to the local statistics of the symbol source. The proposed method works well for sources, such as images, that are characterized by large alphabets and alphabet distributions that are skewed and highly nonstationary, We analyze the performance of the proposed method and compare it to other arithmetic coding methods, both theoretically and experimentally, We show experimentally that in certain contexts, e.g,, with a wavelet-based image coding scheme that has recently appeared in the literature, the compression performance of the proposed method is better than that of the conventional arithmetic coding method and the zero-frequency escape arithmetic coding method.

This paper introduces vector-scalar classification (VSC) for discrete cosine transform (DCT) coding of images, Two main characteristics of VSC differentiate it from previously proposed classification methods, First, pattern classification is effectively performed in the energy domain of the DCT subvectors using vector quantization, Second, the subvectors, instead of the DCT vectors, are mapped into a prescribed number of classes according to a pattern-to-class link established by scalar quantization. Simulation results demonstrate that the DCT coding systems based on VSC are superior to the other proposed DCT coding systems and are competitive compared to the best subband and wavelet coding systems reported in the literature.

An effective method for lossless image compression is presented. It relies on a classified linear-regression prediction obtained through fuzzy techniques, followed by context based modeling of the outcome prediction errors, to enhance entropy coding. The present scheme is a reworking of the fuzzy encoder presented at ICIP'98 (FDC). Now, predictors, instead of pixel intensity patterns, are fuzzy-clustered to find out optimized MMSE prediction classes, and a novel membership function measuring the fitness of prediction is adopted. Size and shape of causal neighborhoods supporting prediction, as well as number of predictors to be blended, may be chosen by user and settle the tradeoff between coding performances and computational costs. The encoder exhibits impressive performances, thanks to the skill of predictors in fitting data patterns as well as to context modeling.

A subband coding algorithm is designed for compression of wideband RF data and eventual implementation on a reconfigurable computer board. The algorithm involves a multirate filter bank, adaptive uniform scalar quantization, and Huffman entropy coding. We report the performance of the algorithm in software on RF data from the DOE satellites ALEXIS and FORTE. A reconfigurable computer array board, RCA-2, designed and assembled at LANL is presented as a target platform for hardware implementation of the algorithm.

Probability estimation of symbol occurrence in adaptive entropy coding used for efficient image coding can be classified into two types. One is Bayesian probability estimation, in which the probability is estimated by using accumulated occurrence counts of the information source symbols. The other is state transition probability estimation in which the probability is estimated through a state transition not always caused by every occurrence of information source symbols. In this paper, we examine the characteristic of both of the probability estimation methods, and propose a new probability estimation method in which either of the two is switched adaptively. We confirmed that the proposed probability estimation provides a higher compression performance on random sequences having wide range of occurrence probabilities, and also works well on coding of various images.

[Summary form only given]. A wavelet coding method for arbitrarily shaped image data, applicable to object-oriented coding of moving pictures, and to the efficient representation of texture data in computer graphics is proposed. The wavelet transform of an arbitrarily shaped image is obtained by applying the symmetrical extension technique at region boundaries and keeping the location of the wavelet coefficient. For entropy coding of the wavelet coefficients, the zerotree coding technique is modified to work with arbitrarily shaped regions by treating missing (outside of the decomposed support) coefficients as insignificant and transmitting only those zerotree symbols which are in the decomposed support. The coding performance of the proposed method for several test images that include a person, a teapot and a necklace is compared to a shape-adaptive DCT and an ordinary DCT method applying low pass extrapolation to the DCT block containing the region boundaries. Experiments show that the proposed method has a better coding efficiency compared to SA-DCT and the ordinary DCT method.

A system is presented for the compression of digital imagery over binary symmetric channels (BSC). The objective is to minimize the perceived distortion for a desired target bit rate. The proposed system utilizes wavelet decomposition, channel-optimized trellis-coded quantization (COTCQ), and a perceptually-tuned rate allocation scheme to control the quantization. Because of the inherent noise-robust properties of the COTCQ stage, no channel coding is employed. Additionally, the COTCQ design does not utilize entropy coding. Consequently, the proposed image coder is especially suitable for wireless transmission due to its reduced complexity and robustness to channel errors. Examples are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed image coding system.
