The operations of digitization, transmission and storage of medical data, particularly images require increasingly effective encoding methods not only in terms of compression ratio and flow of information but also in terms of visual quality. At first, there was DCT (discrete cosine transform) then DWT (discrete wavelet transform) and their associated standards in terms of coding and image compression. After that, the 2nd generation wavelets seeks to be positioned and confronted to the image and video coding methods currently used. It is in this context that we suggested a method combining bandelets and SPIHT (set partitioning in hierarchical trees) algorithm. There are two main reasons for our approach: the first lies in the nature of the bandelet transform to take advantage by capturing the geometrical complexity of the image structure. The second reason stems in the suitability of encoding the bandelet coefficients by the SPIHT encoder. Quality measurements shows that in some cases (for low bit rates) the performances of the proposed coding compete with the well-established ones and opens up new application prospects in the field of medical imaging.

Image Details

In the paper, a novel combined image encryption and compression scheme is proposed. It performs encryption before compression. Making use of the properties of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) coding, confusion is restricted to the interior of single subband image itself and so image details are retained. The proposed algorithm possesses a good visual quality of the reconstructed image and a high encryption speed.

Image information technology has become an important perception technology considering the task of providing lossy image compression with the desired quality using certain encoders Recent researches have shown that the use of a two-step method can perform the compression in a very simple manner and with reduced compression time under the premise of providing a desired visual quality accuracy. However, different encoders have different compression algorithms. These issues involve providing the accuracy of the desired quality. This paper considers the application of the two-step method in an encoder based on a discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In the experiment, bits per pixel (BPP) is used as the control parameter to vary and predict the compressed image quality, and three visual quality evaluation metrics (PSNR, PSNR-HVS, PSNR-HVS-M) are analyzed. In special cases, the two-step method is allowed to be modified. This modification relates to the cases when images subject to lossy compression are either too simple or too complex and linear approximation of dependences is no more valid. Experimental data prove that, compared with the single-step method, after performing the two-step compression method, the mean square error of differences between desired and provided values drops by an order of magnitude. For PSNR-HVS-M, the error of the two-step method does not exceed 3.6 dB. The experiment has been conducted for Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT), a typical image encoder based on DWT, but it can be expected that the proposed method applies to other DWT-based image compression techniques. The results show that the application range of the two-step lossy compression method has been expanded. It is not only suitable for encoders based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) but also works well for DWT-based encoders.

The research is carried out to find wavelets in image processing of CT(computerized Tomography) JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group) medical image for a Lossy Compression. The EZW(Embedded Zerotree Wavelet) and SPIHT(Set Partitioning Hierarchical Trees) algorithms method is implemented to identify the quality of image by DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform). Quality analysis is processed based on parameters measure such as CR(Compression Ratio), BPP(Bits Per Pixel), PSNR( Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and MSE(Mean Square Error). Comparison is made to justify having a good image retaining for seven wavelets, how they correlation each other. Using seven wavelets as assigned a new term Sevenlets in this research work. Medical images are very significant to retain exact image with minimizing loss of information at retrieving. The algorithms EZW and SPIHT give better support to wavelets for compression analysis, can be used to diagnosis analysis to have better perception of image corrective measure.

Video coding is an imperative part of the modern day communication system. Furthermore, it has vital roles in the fields of video streaming, multimedia, video conferencing and much more. Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is an emerging research area, due to its extensive application in most of the multimedia devices as well as public demand. The proposed coding technique is capable of eliminating the Spatio-temporal regularity of a video sequence. In Discrete Bandelet Transform (DBT), the directions are modeled by a three-directional vector field, known as structural flow. Regularity is decided by this flow where the data entropy is low. The wavelet vector decomposition of geometrically ordered data results in a lesser extent of significant coefficients. The directions of geometrical regularity are interpreted with a two-dimensional vector, and the approximation of these directions is found with spline functions. This paper deals with a novel SVC technique by exploiting the DBT. The bandelet coefficients are further encoded by utilizing Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) encoder, followed by global thresholding mechanism. The proposed method is verified with several benchmark datasets using the performance measures which gives enhanced performance. Thus, the experimental results bring out the superiority of the proposed technique over the state-of-arts.

This paper presents two methods for fusion of infrared (IR) and visible surveillance images. The first method combines Curvelet Transform (CT) with Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). As wavelets do not represent long edges well while curvelets are challenged with small features, our objective is to combine both to achieve better performance. The second approach uses Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT), which provides multiresolution in high frequency band as well and hence helps in handling edges better. The performance of the proposed methods have been extensively tested for a number of multimodal surveillance images and compared with various existing transform domain fusion methods. Experimental results show that evaluation based on entropy, gradient, contrast etc., the criteria normally used, are not enough, as in some cases, these criteria are not consistent with the visual quality. It also demonstrates that the Petrovic and Xydeas image fusion metric is a more appropriate criterion for fusion of IR and visible images, as in all the tested fused images, visual quality agrees with the Petrovic and Xydeas metric evaluation. The analysis shows that there is significant increase in the quality of fused image, both visually and quantitatively. The major achievement of the proposed fusion methods is its reduced artifacts, one of the most desired feature for fusion used in surveillance applications.
