  • Abstract
    Visually lossless irreversible coding permit compression algorithms to improve the compression gain without disturbing the visual image quality. This paper proposes a novel coding scheme in which wavelet based visual model is embedded into lossless compression algorithm to compress the volumetric medical image data. Obtained experimental results are compared with numerically lossless compression schemes such as Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM), Joint Photographic Experts Group-Lossless (JPEG-LS), JPEG-2000 and High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The proposed method achieves reduced bit rate without deteriorating the visual quality of the resulting images.
