Correlation modeling for compression of computed tomography images
Abstract-Computed Tomography (CT) is a noninvasive medical test obtained via a series of X-ray exposures resulting in 3D images that aid medical diagnosis. Previous approaches for coding such 3D images propose to employ multi-component transforms to exploit correlation among CT slices, but these app...

| Sumario: | Abstract-Computed Tomography (CT) is a noninvasive medical test obtained via a series of X-ray exposures resulting in 3D images that aid medical diagnosis. Previous approaches for coding such 3D images propose to employ multi-component transforms to exploit correlation among CT slices, but these approaches do not always improve coding performance with respect to a simpler slice-by-slice coding approach. In this work, we propose a novel analysis which accurately predicts when the use of a multi-component transform is profitable. This analysis models the correlation coefficient r based on image acquisition parameters readily available at acquisition time. Extensive experimental results from multiple image sensors suggest that multi-component transforms are appropriate for images with correlation coefficient r in excess of 0.87. |
