Analysis and Comparison of Digital Image Compression Algorithms Combined with Huffman Encoding

SPIHT (Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Tree) has become the most effective image compression tool computationally in no time  among all the other algorithms, because it boosts the operating potency, reduces its complexness, gets implemented in code and hardware simply. In this paper, a special approach to the initial SPIHT algorithm that relies on Set Partitioning in Row/Column-wise (SPIR) rule has been proposed and compared to EZW method. This rule is well implementable compared to the BP-SPIHT (Block-based pass parallel SPIHT algorithm) and alternative compression techniques. This algorithm applies on wavelet decomposed image, followed by verification of the row/column wise constituent values. Output bit stream of SPIR encoding rule, combined with Huffman encoding, presents a simple and effective methodology

Zooplankton visualization system: design and real-time lossless image compression

In this thesis, I present a design of a small, self-contained, underwater plankton imaging system. I base the imaging system’s design on an embedded PC architecture based on PC/104-Plus standards to meet the compact size and low power requirements. I developed a simple graphical user interface to run on a real-time operating system to control the imaging system. I also address how a real-time image compression scheme implemented on an FPGA chip speeds up image transfer speeds of the imaging system. Since lossless compression of the image is required in order to retain all image details, I began with an established compression scheme like SPIHT, and latter proposed a new compression scheme that suits the imaging system’s requirements. I provide an estimate of the total amount of resources required and propose suitable FPGA chips to implement the compression scheme. Finally, I present various parallel designs by which the FPGA chip can be integrated into the imaging system

Contemporary Affirmation of SPIHT Improvements in Image Coding

Set partitioning in hierarchal trees (SPIHT) is actually a widely-used compression algorithm for wavelet altered images. On most algorithms developed, SPIHT algorithm from the time its introduction in 1996 for image compression has got lots of interest. Though SPIHT is considerably simpler and efficient than several present compression methods since it's a completely inserted codec, provides good image quality, large PSNR, optimized for modern image transmission, efficient conjunction with error defense, form information on demand and hence element powerful error correction decreases from starting to finish but still it has some downsides that need to be taken away for its better use therefore since its development it has experienced many adjustments in its original model. This document presents a survey on several different improvements in SPIHT in certain fields as velocity, redundancy, quality, error resilience, sophistication, and compression ratio and memory requirement

Exploiting Prior Knowledge in Compressed Sensing Wireless ECG Systems

Recent results in telecardiology show that compressed sensing (CS) is a promising tool to lower energy consumption in wireless body area networks for electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. However, the performance of current CS-based algorithms, in terms of compression rate and reconstruction quality of the ECG, still falls short of the performance attained by state-of-the-art wavelet based algorithms. In this paper, we propose to exploit the structure of the wavelet representation of the ECG signal to boost the performance of CS-based methods for compression and reconstruction of ECG signals. More precisely, we incorporate prior information about the wavelet dependencies across scales into the reconstruction algorithms and exploit the high fraction of common support of the wavelet coefficients of consecutive ECG segments. Experimental results utilizing the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database show that significant performance gains, in terms of compression rate and reconstruction quality, can be obtained by the proposed algorithms compared to current CS-based methods.Comment: Accepted for publication at IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatic

A Novel Time Frequency Approach of Content Revival Based Medical Image Compression

Storage space requests in healing centers are continuously expanding the compression of recorded medical images. In Medicine Field Medical imaging has an awesome effect on medication, particularly in the fields of analysis and surgical planning. In most cases doctors may not bear the cost of any deficiency in diagnostically important region of images, called regions of interest(ROI). A methodology that carries a high compression rate with great quality in the ROI. This paper exhibits a methodology for a medicinal image compression algorithm. Embedded zerotree wavelet (EZW) coding, presented by J. M. Shapiro, is an extremely powerful and computationally straightforward procedure for image compression. Set-partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) is a broadly utilized compression algorithm for wavelet-transformed images which gives better execution. These two strategies are used to compress ROI region. In this paper we compress images utilizing EZW and SPIHT algorithms. The point is to build the compression ratio and to get great quality in region of interest. Experimental result demonstrates that SPIHT method has better performance.

RGB Medical Video Compression Using Geometric Wavelet

The video compression is used in a wide of applications from medical domain especially in telemedicine. Compared to the classical transforms, wavelet transform has significantly better performance in horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions. Therefore, this transform introduces high discontinuities in complex geometrics. However, to detect complex geometrics is one key challenge for the high efficient compression. In order to capture anisotropic regularity along various curves a new efficient and precise transform termed by bandelet basis, based on DWT, quadtree decomposition and optical flow is proposed in this paper. To encode significant coefficients we use efficient coder SPIHT. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm DBT-SPIHT for low bit rate (0.3Mbps) is able to reduce up to 37.19% and 28.20% of the complex geometrics detection compared to the DWT-SPIHT and DCuT-SPIHT algorithm
