COLOR MEDICAL IMAGE COMPRESSED USING QUINCUNX WAVELETS AND SPIHT CODING

2013

In the field of medical diagnostics, interested parties have resorted increasingly to color medical imaging. It is well established that the accuracy and completeness of diagnosis are initially connected with the image quality, but the quality of the image is itself dependent on a number of factors including primarily the processing that an image must undergo to enhance its quality. This paper introduces an algorithm for color medical image compression based on the quincunx wavelets coupled with SPÏHT coding algorithm.  In order to enhance the compression by our algorithm, we have compared the results obtained with those of other methods containing wavelet transforms. For this reason, we …
