Abstract- In this paper a new method of image compression for medical images has been proposed to achieve high PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio). Image compression using Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) transform has been done with the other well known wavelets like Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT). This research paper presents an image compression algorithm using ISPIHT and JPEG2000 as a Hybrid technique. The reconstructed image quality is compared by using Quality matrices like PSNR, MSE, Compression Ratio and Bit per Pixel. Improved Set Partioning in Hierarchical Trees (ISPIHT) algorithm is a significant improvement of Set Partioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm. It has got a good compression performance. JPEG2000 is a well known conventional technique of image compression. JPEG2000, which is generally employed with DWT and Huffman encoder, is proved to compensate memory requirements.

Keywords- JPEG 2000, SPIHT, PSNR, MSE

Introduction to ISPIHT

SPIHT is the wavelet based image compression method. It provides the Highest Image Quality, Progressive image transmission, fully embedded coded file, Simple quantization algorithm, fast coding/decoding, completely adaptive, Lossless compression ,Exact bit rate coding and Error protection [3]. SPIHT makes use of three lists – the List of Significant Pixels (LSP), List of Insignificant Pixels (LIP) and List of Insignificant Sets (LIS). These are coefficient location lists that contain their coordinates. After the initialization, the algorithm takes two stages for each level of threshold – the sorting pass (in which lists are organized) and the refinement pass (which does the actual progressive coding transmission). The result is in the form of a bit stream. It is capable of recovering the image perfectly (every

single bit of it) by coding all bits of the transform. However, the wavelet transform yields perfect reconstruction only if its numbers are stored as infinite imprecision numbers.

Wavelet transform, due to its time frequency characteristics, has been a popular multi resolution analysis tool. Its discrete version, i.e. DWT has been widely used in various applications. The ISPIHT algorithm has been implemented to test a set of different natural gray scale medical images.

The ISPIHT algorithm is based on SPIHT with MFHWT. The SPIHT method is not a simple extension of traditional methods for image compression, and represents an important advance in the field. The method deserves special attention because it provides highest image quality. SPIHT is used with haar wavelet for the decomposition of an image. It is observed that SPIHT provides better results. It can be used to compress the image that is used in the web applications. MFHWT is very efficient method to decompose the image. It also reduces the calculation work.

Objectives

This thesis work has been focused to achieve the following objectives:

a) To study various image compression algorithms

b) To develop a new algorithm for image compression using ISPIHT in Hybrid with a conventional Technique.

c) To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm through different quality matrices like PSNR, BPP, CR, MSE

Blending algorithm

Blending of two images is done by using foreground and background concept.

Let I1 and I2 be two images and alpha(α) is the transparency constant than algorithm is α=0.5

fg=α*(I1) bg=(1-α)*(I2) blend img=fg+bg

Work Methodology

Image compression is an application of data compression on digital images. Image compression is minimizing the size in bytes of a graphics file without degrading the quality of the image to an unacceptable level. The reduction in file size allows more images to be stored in a given amount of disk or memory space. It also reduces the time required for images to be sent over the Internet or downloaded from Web pages. There are several different ways in which image files can be compressed. For Internet use, the two most common compressed graphic image formats are the JPEG 2000 format and ISPIHT format. Hybridization of both these techniques leads quite compressed image

even without losing image quality. ISPIHT technique which is a modification of SPIHT technique by introducing MFHWT for transformation is very advantageous to use with JPEG 2000.

Step1: Read the grey image as a matrix.

Step2: Apply ISPIHT algorithm on entire matrix of the image.

Step3: Computes the approximation coefficients matrix and details coefficients matrices obtained by wavelet decomposition MFHWT of the input matrix. First average sub signal

(a. =a1, a2, an/2), at one level for a signal of length N i.e. f = (f1,f2, f3, f4.fn) and first detail sub signal (d.= d1, d2, d3..dn) and get the output bit stream after applying Sorting Pass and Refinement Pass.

Step4: After applying ISPIHT we get a compressed image matrix of input image.

Step5: For reconstruction process, applying the inverse.

Step6: Apply JPEG2000 algorithm on entire matrix of the image Step7: Get another JPEG2000 Compressed Image.

Step8: Apply Blending Algorithm on both the compressed Image.

Step9: Calculate Quality Metrics for reconstructed image

Conclusion

In order to solve the memory space problem, a new algorithm using ISPIHT and JPEG2000 has been used in this research work. The size and execution time of this new algorithm is much less than that of the original one and the experimental results showed that the improved algorithm really improves the quality and size of images. Image compression using the Hybrid ISPIHT with JPEG 2000 seems to be very powerful for the medical images. Hybrid ISPIHT with JPEG 2000 technique not only compressed the image at extent but also maintain the image quality.

Results in the table 2 clearly shows that parameters like Bits Per Pixel, Compression Ratio, PSNR are increasing showing that image quality is upgraded in the new algorithm.

Table 2: Results Hand Image

Table 2 shows the results of hand test image. As it is already cleared that three parameters BPP, CR, PSNR should increase to increase the image quality and they are increasing providing better image quality to Hybrid Technique.

Also the parameter MSE is considered which should be decreased to affect the image quality in a positive manner and it is clearly seen in the bar graph Fig 15 representation that MSE is decreasing in Hybrid Technique.
