Lossy-to-Lossless Roi Coding of Chromosome Images using Modified Spiht and Ebcot Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • 2002 IEEE. This paper proposes a lossy-to-lossless region of interest (ROI) compression scheme based on set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) [1] and embedded block coding with optimized truncation (EBCOT) [2] (EBCOT is the base of the JPEG-2000 [3] standard). However, SPIHT does not support ROI coding and JPEG-2000 does not allow lossy-to-lossless ROI compression. For our application, we modify the original SPIHT and EBCOT algorithms for lossy-to-lossless ROI coding of both the foreground and the background of chromosome images. Experiments show that our implementations offer better compression performance with exact ROI support than other image coders.
