Among the many categories of images that require lossless compression, medical images can be indicated as one of the most important category. Medical image compression with loss impairs of diagnostic value, therefore, there are often legal restrictions on the image compression with losses. Among the common approaches to medical image compression we can distinguish the transformation-based and prediction-based approaches. This paper presents algorithms for the prediction based on the edge detection and estimation of local gradient. Also, a novel prediction algorithm based on advantages of standardized median predictor and gradient predictor is presented and analyzed. Removed redundancy estimation was done by comparing entropies of the medical image after prediction
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
