An evaluation of lossless compression algorithms for medical infrared images
Gerald Schaefer, Roman Starosolski, Shao Ying Zhu · 2005
Several popular lossless image compression algorithms were evaluated for the application of compressing medical infrared images. Lossless JPEG, JPEG-LS,JPEG2000, PNG, and CALIC were tested on an image dataset of 380+ thermal images. The results show that JPEG-LS is the algorithm with the best performance, both in terms of compression ratio and compression speed.
