Virtual Slide Telepathology Systems with JPEG2000
Juan Pablo García Ortiz, Vicente González Ruiz, I. García · Conference proceedings · 2007
In this paper the JPEG2000 standard is analyzed showing how to exploit all its powerful features in order to build efficient virtual slide telepathology systems. We propose a fast method for stitching images in the wavelet domain. Stitching is a process necessary in many virtual slide systems to generate only one image of a slide with the maximum resolution. This method profits from the structure of the JPEG2000 images to carry out the process with the minimum memory consumption and computational load, obtaining a smoothed union without losing any detail.
