Optimized decomposition basis using Lanczos filters for lossless compression of biomedical images
Résumé
This paper proposes to introduce Lanczos interpolation filters as wavelet atoms in an optimized decomposition for embedded lossy to lossless compression of biomedical images. The decomposition and the Lanczos parameter are jointly optimized in a generic packet structure in order to take into account the various contents of biomedical imaging modalities. Lossless experimental results are given on a large scale database. They show that in comparison with a well known basis using 5/3 biorthogonal wavelets and a dyadic decomposition, the proposed approach allows to improve the compression by more than 10\% on less noisy images and up to 30% on 3D-MRI while providing similar results on noisy datasets.
