Introduction of digital communication network such as Integrated Services Digital Networks(ISDN) and digital storage media have rapidly developed. Due to a large amount of image data, compression is the key techniques in still image and video using digital signal processing for transmitting and storing. Digital image compression provides solutions for various image applications that represent digital image requiring a large amount of data. In this paper, the proposed DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) filter bank is consisted of simple architecture, but it is efficiently designed that a user obtain a wanted compression rate as only input parameter. If it is implemented by FPGA chip, the designed encoder operates in 12MHz.

Because of computer developing, the digital image making the use of many a field of application with - web-above, electronic publishing. printing, dynamic image management and photo CD production etc., however many problems of save and management. The management image use of compression moth which don't have a affect on image, reduce file size. A study used sequential DCT0based mode and progressive DCT-based mode of JPEG(Joing Photographic Experts Group) compression method and Wavelet compression method. Therefore, the analog image and digital image was changed and applied by several stages according to compression rate. It made inquiries of the optimum compression rate that be compared quality transformation between original image and compressed image. As compression image was printing simply, the quality was studied by subjective valuation method, that was studied propriety and usefulness.

Purpose : To determine the proper image compression method and ratio without image quality degradation in intraoral digital radiographic images, comparing the discrete cosine transform (DCT)-based JPEG with the wavelet-based JPEG 2000 algorithm. Materials and Methods : Thirty extracted sound teeth and thirty extracted teeth with occlusal caries were used for this study. Twenty plaster blocks were made with three teeth each. They were radiographically exposed using CDR sensors (Schick Inc., Long Island, USA). Digital images were compressed to JPEG format, using Adobe Photoshop v.7.0 and JPEG 2000 format using Jasper program with compression ratios of 5 : 1,9 : 1, 14 : 1,28 : 1 each. To evaluate the lesion detectability, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed by the three oral and maxillofacial radiologists. To evaluate the image quality, all the compressed images were assessed subjectively using 5 grades, in comparison to the original uncompressed images. Results: Compressed images up to compression ratio of 14 : 1 in JPEG and 28 : 1 in JPEG 2000 showed nearly the same the lesion detectability as the original images. In the subjective assessment of image quality, images up to compression ratio of 9 : 1 in JPEG and 14 : 1 in JPEG 2000 showed minute mean paired differences from the original Images. Conclusion : The results showed that the clinically acceptable compression ratios were up to 9 : 1 for JPEG and 14 : 1 for JPEG 2000. The wavelet-based JPEG 2000 is a better compression method, comparing to DCT-based JPEG for intraoral digital radiographic images.

Medical imaging techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) and Ultrasound (US) produce a large amount of digital medical images. Hence, compression of digital images becomes essential and is very much desired in medical applications to solve both storage and transmission problems. But at the same time, an efficient image compression scheme that reduces the size of medical images without sacrificing diagnostic information is required. This paper proposes a novel threshold-based medical image compression algorithm to reduce the size of the medical image without degradation in the diagnostic information. This algorithm discusses a novel type of thresholding to maximize Compression Ratio (CR) without sacrificing diagnostic information. The compression algorithm is designed to get image with high optimum compression efficiency and also with high fidelity, especially for Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) greater than or equal to 36 dB. This value of PSNR is chosen because it has been suggested by previous researchers that medical images, if have PSNR from 30 dB to 50 dB, will retain diagnostic information. The compression algorithm utilizes one-level wavelet decomposition with threshold-based coefficient selection.

The digital images contain a significant amount of redundancy and require a large amount of data for their storage and transmission. Therefore, the image compression is necessary to treat digital images efficiently. The goal of image compression is to reduce the number of bits required for their representation. The image compression can reduce the size of image data using contractive mapping of original image. Among the compression methods, the mapping is affine transformation to find the block(called range block) which is the most similar to the original image. In this paper, we applied the neural network(SOM) in encoding. In order to improve the performance of image compression, we intend to reduce the similarities and unnecesaries comparing with the originals in the codebook. In standard image coding, the affine transform is performed with eight isometries that used to approximate domain blocks to range blocks.

디지털 워터마킹은 디지털 컨텐츠의 저작권을 보호하기 위한 중요한 기술로 취급되어 오고 있다. 삽입되는 워터마크는 압축, 필터링에서 cropping에 이르기까지 다양한 공격에 대하여 견고하여야 한다. 특히, JPEG은 인터넷 응용을 위한 뛰어난 정지 영상 압축 표준이기 때문에 JPEG 압축에 견관 디지털 워터마킹 기법이 특별히 요구된다. 지금까지 제안된 대부분의 디지털 워터마킹 기법은 JPEG의 품질수준(quality level)을 고려하지 않고 픽셀이나 계수를 변조하여 처리한다. 이것은 워터마크의 제거가 쉽게 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 JPEG 압축시에 발생되는 영상의 손실을 계산하기 위해 JPEG 압축의 품질 계수를 워터마크 삽입 시의 파라메터로써 이용하여 JPEG 압축에 의한 차를 계산한다. 인간 시각의 성질 중에서 밝기 차의 식별력을 고려함과 동시에 영상의 에지 정보를 이용한 시각 성분을 계산한다. 이와 같이 JPEG 압축에 의한 영상의 손실과 인간의 시각 성질을 고려한 워터마크를 구성한 후에 영상에 삽입하는 새로운 디지털 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다.

The demand for handling images in digital form has increased dramatically in recent years. Digital image compression is required to store and transmit mass information in different from general information. JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group) committee founded by CCITT and ISO is define the still-image standard compression/restoration algorithm. JPEG is proposed the standard of grayscale and color still-image compression/restoration. In the image quality, JPEG is applicable to the various applications in which compression is able to from 1/10 to 1/50 without the visible obstacle. In this paper, we proposed that the proposed method enhance the compression ratio which is reducing the higher frequency in order to increasing the spatial redundancy in the image. The proposed method is using the low pass filter in order to reducing the higher frequency. The low-pass filters are using the median filter and convolution filter in the spatial domain, FFT filter in the frequency domain. We acquired the additive compression ratio reducing the higher frequency using the low-pass filter.

오늘날 의료정보화 수준향상과 디지털 병원화의 흐름에 따라 PACS는 의료기관의 핵심 인프라 중 하나로 자리매김하였다. 이와 함께 생산되는 디지털 의료영상의 종류 및 의료영상 데이터가 양적으로 급증하고 있으며, 이는 의료영상 데이터의 효과적인 보관을 위한 의료영상 압축을 중요한 요소로 부각시킨다. 현재 의료영상에 관한 사실상의 표준인 DICOM 규격에서는 의료영상 압축을 위하여 무손실 압축기법인 RLE를 명시하고 있으나, 무손실 범용 압축기법인 RLE는 인체의 대칭성을 가지는 많은 의료영상에 적용하면 높은 압축율 기대하기 힘들다. 이 논문에서는 다양한 의료영상 중 대칭 특성을 크게 내포하는 뇌 CT 영상을 대상으로 하여 영상 내 관심영역을 검출하고 대칭특성에 따라 영상의 픽셀 값을 재코딩하는 전처리 하고 영상을 압축하는 기법을 제안한다. 실험에 의하면, 제안한 기법은 RLE 압축과 영상 내 관심영역을 검출하지 않고 압축할 때와 비교하여 높은 압축률을 보인다.

텍스처 영상 압축은 JPEG과 같은 영상 압축 표준을 사용한다. 일반 텍스처 영상에는 JPEG으로도 좋은 압축 성능을 내지만 패치 텍스처 영상은 이러한 영상 압축 기술로 압축했을 때 좋은 압축 성능을 보이지 못하였다. 이를 보완하고 압축 성능을 높이기 위해 기존의 패치 텍스처 영상에 주변 화소간에 색차를 줄이기 위한 전처리 기술을 소개하고, 제안된 기술과 JPEG 압축을 순서대로 적용하였을 때 압축 성능이 23%에서 45%까지 향상됨을 보이고자 한다.
