An Efficient, Lossless Database for Storing and Transmitting Medical Images
Marc J. Fenstermacher · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA) · 1998
This research aimed in creating new compression methods based on the central idea of Set Redundancy Compression (SRC). Set Redundancy refers to the common information that exists in a set of similar images. SRC compression methods take advantage of this common information and can achieve improved compression of similar images by reducing their Set Redundancy. The current research resulted in the development of three new lossless SRC compression methods: MARS (Median-Aided Region Sorting), MAZE (Max-Aided Zero Elimination) and MaxGBA (Max-Guided Bit Allocation).
