Soft Compression for Lossless Image Coding Based on Shape Recognition

Soft compression is a lossless image compression method that is committed to eliminating coding redundancy and spatial redundancy simultaneously. To do so, it adopts shapes to encode an image. In this paper, we propose a compressible indicator function with regard to images, which gives a threshold of the average number of bits required to represent a location and can be used for illustrating the working principle. We investigate and analyze soft compression for binary image, gray image and multi-component image with specific algorithms and compressible indicator value. In terms of compression ratio, the soft compression algorithm outperforms the popular classical standards PNG and JPEG2000 in lossless image compression. It is expected that the bandwidth and storage space needed when transmitting and storing the same kind of images (such as medical images) can be greatly reduced with applying soft compression.     

Joint Lossless Image Compression and Encryption Scheme Based on CALIC and Hyperchaotic System

For efficiency and security of image transmission and storage, the joint image compression and encryption method that performs compression and encryption in a single step is a promising solution due to better security. Moreover, on some important occasions, it is necessary to save images in high quality by lossless compression. Thus, a joint lossless image compression and encryption scheme based on a context-based adaptive lossless image codec (CALIC) and hyperchaotic system is proposed to achieve lossless image encryption and compression simultaneously. Making use of the characteristics of CALIC, four encryption locations are designed to realize joint image compression and encryption: encryption for the predicted values of pixels based on gradient-adjusted prediction (GAP), encryption for the final prediction error, encryption for two lines of pixel values needed by prediction mode and encryption for the entropy coding file. Moreover, a new four-dimensional hyperchaotic system and plaintext-related encryption based on table lookup are all used to enhance the security. The security tests show information entropy, correlation and key sensitivity of the proposed methods reach 7.997, 0.01 and 0.4998, respectively. This indicates that the proposed methods have good security. Meanwhile, compared to original CALIC without security, the proposed methods increase the security and reduce the compression ratio by only 6.3%. The test results indicate that the proposed methods have high security and good lossless compression performance.

Employing New Hybrid Adaptive Wavelet-Based Transform and Histogram Packing to Improve JP3D Compression of Volumetric Medical Images

The primary purpose of the reported research was to improve the discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based JP3D compression of volumetric medical images by applying new methods that were only previously used in the compression of two-dimensional (2D) images. Namely, we applied reversible denoising and lifting steps with step skipping to three-dimensional (3D)-DWT and constructed a hybrid transform that combined 3D-DWT with prediction. We evaluated these methods using a test-set containing images of modalities: Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Ultrasound (US). They proved effective for 3D data resulting in over two times greater compression ratio improvements than competitive methods. While employing fast entropy estimation of JP3D compression ratio to reduce the cost of image-adaptive parameter selection for the new methods, we found that some MRI images had sparse histograms of intensity levels. We applied the classical histogram packing (HP) and found that, on average, it resulted in greater ratio improvements than the new sophisticated methods and that it could be combined with these new methods to further improve ratios. Finally, we proposed a few practical compression schemes that exploited HP, entropy estimation, and the new methods; on average, they improved the compression ratio by up to about 6.5% at an acceptable cost.

Multispectral Image Compression for Improvement of Colorimetric and Spectral Reproducibility by Nonlinear Spectral Transform

The article proposes a multispectral image compression scheme using nonlinear spectral transform for better colorimetric and spectral reproducibility. In the method, we show the reduction of colorimetric error under a defined viewing illuminant and also that spectral accuracy can be improved simultaneously using a nonlinear spectral transform called Labplus, which takes into account the nonlinearity of human color vision. Moreover, we show that the addition of diagonal matrices to Labplus can further preserve the spectral accuracy and has a generalized effect of improving the colorimetric accuracy under other viewing illuminants than the defined one. Finally, we discuss the usage of the first-order Markov model to form the analysis vectors for the higher order channels in Labplus to reduce the computational complexity. We implement a multispectral image compression system that integrates Labplus with JPEG2000 for high colorimetric and spectral reproducibility. Experimental results for a 16-band multispectral image show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Distributed Lossless Compression Algorithm for Hyperspectral Images Based on Classification

This article addresses the problem of distributed lossless compression for hyperspectral images and proposes an effective lossless compression algorithm based on classification. First, a band selection algorithm was performed on the hyperspectral images to select those bands with considerable information. Next, the K-means algorithm was performed on those selected bands to obtain the classification map. To make full use of the spectral and spatial correlation, a multilinear regression model was introduced to construct the high-quality side information of each class within the identical block according to the classification map. Subsequently, the (n, k) linear grouping codes were employed to perform the distributed source coding for each class separately. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm has a competitive lossless compression performance compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms.

Color Enhancement in Multispectral Image Using the Karhunen-Loeve Transform

We propose a new method for the color enhancement of multispectral image in the visible wavelength region. The purpose of the proposed method is to explore the weak features contained in a specific wavelength by discounting the major color distribution. Such examination will be valuable in visual inspection applications, for example, a medical examination using color image to find a small spectral change of an abnormal part. In this method, Karhunen-Loeve (KL) transform is applied to multispectral data, and specific wavelength components of only high-order KL coefficients are amplified while low-order coefficients are not changed to retain the major color distribution. In the experiment, this method was applied to multispectral images: a printed test image and a human skin image of a bruised arm were captured by a 16-band multispectral camera. The resultant images were compared with the images obtained by saturation enhancement and that obtained by applying the proposed method to the 3-band image. The method successfully visualized the features, which are almost invisible in natural color images, with less change in background color than saturation enhancement.
