Logarithmic Discrete Wavelet Transform for Medical Image Compression with Diagnostic Quality

This paper presents a novel study of logarithmic discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for medical image compression. It proposes a new technique to compute the DWT using the logarithmic number system (LNS) instead of floating point arithmetic. It investigates its impact on the image quality which is an...
