Abstract | Prior knowledge of wavelet coefficient statistics is a key issue in the development of better quantization strategy for enhancing compression efficiency of digital images. Since statistics of medical images are quite different from those of natural images, there is a need for statistical modelling of wavelet coefficients in different subbands. This paper examines the suitability of Student-t, Pareto Weibull and Gaussian distributions for modelling the wavelet coefficients of various subbands in a CT scan image to improve the compression efficiency. It has been found that the statistics of wavelet coefficients in the CT scan images can be better approximated by the generalized Student-t distribution for negative wavelet coefficients whereas generalized Pareto distribution provides better fit for the non-negative coefficients. The results can be potentially useful in designing adaptive quantizer for achieving improved compression gain and reducing computational complexity for medical image coders. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
