Lossless Image Compression Via Bit-Plane Separation and Multilayer Context

Efficient Compression Method for High-Quality Medical and Satellite Images

Abstract

Lossless image compression is needed forapplications that cannot tolerate any degradation of original imagery data,e.g., medical applications such as mammography, angiography, and x-rays. It isessential that the decompressed image does not contain any degradation inquality, since it could lead to misdiagnosis and health injury. Satellite orgeographical map images are another case where distortion caused by compressioncannot be tolerated. In this paper we focused about Lossless Image Compressionvia Bit-Plane Separation and Multilayer Context.
