In an emergency telemedicine system such as High-quality Multimedia based Real-time Emergency Telemedicine(HMRET) service, it is very important to examine the status of the patient continuously using the multimedia data including the biological signals(ECG, BP, Respiration, $SpO_2$) of the patient. In order to transmit these data real time through the communication means which have the limited transmission capacity. It is also necessary to compress the biological data besides other multimedia data. For the HMRET service, we developed the lossless biological signal compression program in MSVC++ 6.0 using DPCM method and JPEG Huffman table, and tested in an internet environment.

본 논문에서는 영상안에서의 노이즈를 제거하기 위한 방법과 영상을 압축하기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 영상을 필터링하기 위한 방법으로 해상도의 손상 없이 영상의 신호대잡음비(SNR)를 개선시킬 수 있는 국부 형태 적응 필터링을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘에서는 템플릿 형태가 고정되어 있는 기존의 필터링 방법 대신에 다중 템플릿들을 정의하였다. 적응 템플릿 필터링을 자기공명영상에 적용할 때 기존의 필터링 방법들에 비하여 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있으나. $T_1$ 영상과 같이 비교적 작은 동적 범위를 가진 영상에서는 에지에서 계단모양의 artifact가 발견되곤 한다. 본 논문에서는 다중 성분을 갖는 복셀들을 선별하여 이들에 대해서는 가장 큰 크기의 템플릿을 할당함으로써 artifact를 제거하는 방법을 제안하였다. 영상 압축에 있어서는 두 가지 모델이 제안되었다. 첫 번째로, 향상된 정수 기반 웨이블렛 변환을 사용한 무손실에 가까운 압축을 제안하였으며, 두 번째로, 완전 복원이 가능한 정수 기반 웨이블렛 변환을 사용한 통합된 유/무손실 압축을 제안하였다. 모의 실험에서, 제안된 알고리즘에 의해 재구성된 영상들은 부동 소수점 기반 웨이블렛 변환과 JPEG에 의해 재구성된 영상들에 비해 높은 신호대잡음비를 보였다.

Wavelet Transform is amenable to efficient algorithms. So wavelet transform was adopted many signal processing and communication applications. For example, the wavelet transform was adopted as the transform for JPEG2000. However, Wavelet has weakness about smoothness along the contours and limited directional information. Hence, recently, some new transforms have been introduced to take advantage of this property. So we use to other transform, called contourlet transform in compression. In this paper, we propose a new method for image compression based on the contourlet transform, which has been recently introduced. Contourlet transform has a good result about images with smooth contours. Moreover, Contourlet is feasible multiresolution and multidirection expansion using non-separable filter bank. This treatise shows a good image representation after compressing using contourlet transform.

As the computer communication becomes generalized thanks to the advancement in information technology the technology to process a large amount of images is much rare required. This paper proposed lossless image compression method using quadtree algorithm and F-transform, which efficiency transmission and storage. The computer simulation shows that Compression ratio to make use of proposed method turned out to be improved more significantly compared with the established L-JPEG, LOCO-I, CALIC.

When host images are watermarked with CRT (Chinese Remainder Theorem), the watermark images are still robust in spite of the damage of the host images by maintaining the remainders in an unchanged state within some range of the changes that are incurred by the attacks. This advantage can also be attained by "zero-watermarking," which does not change the host images in any way. This paper proposes an improved zero-watermarking scheme for color images on the DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) domain that is based on the CRT. In the scheme, RGB images are converted into YCbCr images, and one channel is used for the DCT transformation. A key is then computed from the DC and three low-frequency AC values of each DCT block using the CRT. The key finally becomes the watermark key after it is combined four times with a scrambled watermark image. When watermark images are extracted, each bit is determined by majority voting. This scheme shows that watermark images are robust against a number of common attacks such as sharpening, blurring, JPEG lossy compression, and cropping.

In this paper, we propose a watermarking technique that embeds a digital watermark into digital images for the proof of owner or copyright protection. Proposed algorithm is based on discrete wavelet transform. Zerotree structure defined by Shapiro's embedded zerotree wavelet(EZW) algorithm is used. In the proposed algorithm, a digital watermark is embedded on only significant wavelet coefficients chosen by QSWT for the robustness of the algorithm. In other words, only the values of significant wavelet coefficients are modified in accordance with the given watermark pattern. We use the relationship among neighboring coefficients when modifying chosen coefficients to keep good image quality. Visual recognizable patterns such as binary images are used as a watermark. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has robustness under a variety of attacks such as JPEG compression, sharpening and blurring and also show that it has a better performance in PSNR comparing with other algorithms.

In this paper, we propose a watermarking method for still images using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Watermarking is a copyright protection technique for digital contents by hiding secret information into the contents. The proposed method embeds the watermark information into DCT coefficients. To obtain a watermarked image that is not only high quality but also has robustness for compression, we considered a method to change the degree of embedding by utilizing the activity of each DCT block. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can obtain huh quality watermarked images and we can extract most of the embedded data even if they are compressed by JPEG scheme.

This paper proposes a novel system to send images in a narrow band network and to measure water level. In order to send images in narrow band network, we use JPEG compression technique based on the difference image. The difference image is obtained by subtracting the current image from the predefined reference image. The water level is measured to make use of the camera calibration and the edge information of the received image.

The proposed method measures the correlation maps of SVD that are used to interpret data relations and structures between the original image and the distorted image. It seems that the SVD results can be used to assist us in gaining information about covariance structure of two images. This method is able to work in the complete absence of any digital watermark or signature. The effectiveness of this method is seen through testing the robustness against JPEG compression.
