Medical Image Compression Based on Vector Quantization with Variable Block Sizes in Wavelet Domain
An optimized medical image compression algorithm based on wavelet transform and improved vector quantization is introduced. The goal of the proposed method is to maintain the diagnostic-related information of the medical image at a high compression ratio. Wavelet transformation was first applied to...
