Spline-based dense medial descriptors for lossy image compression

Medial descriptors are of significant interest for image simplification, representation, manipulation, and compression. On the other hand, B-splines are well-known tools for specifying smooth curves in computer graphics and geometric design. In this paper, we integrate the two by modeling medial descriptors with stable and accurate B-splines for image compression. Representing medial descriptors with B-splines can not only greatly improve compression but is also an effective vector representation of raster images. A comprehensive evaluation shows that our Spline-based Dense Medial Descriptors (SDMD) method achieves much higher compression ratios at similar or even better quality to the well-known JPEG technique. We illustrate our approach with applications in generating super-resolution images and salient feature preserving image compression

Design of Multiplier for Medical Image Compression Using Urdhava Tiryakbhyam Sutra

Compressing the medical images is one of the challenging areas in healthcare industry which calls for an effective design of the compression algorithms. The conventional compression algorithms used on medical images doesn’t offer enhanced computational capabilities with respect to faster processing speed and is more dependent on hardware resources. The present paper has identified the potential usage of Vedic mathematics in the form of Urdhava Tiryakbhyam sutra, which can be used for designing an efficient multiplier that can be used for enhancing the capabilities of the existing processor to generate enhance compression experience. The design of the proposed system is discussed with respect to 5 significant algorithms and the outcome of the proposed study was testified with heterogeneous samples of medical image to find that proposed system offers approximately 57% of the reduction in size without any significant loss of data
