Recent lossless 4D medical images compression works are based on the application of techniques originated from video compression to efficiently eliminate redundancies in different dimensions of image. In this context we present a new approach of lossless 4D medical images compression which consists to application of 2D wavelet transform in spatial directions followed or not by either lifting transform or motion compensation in inter slices direction, the obtained slices are coded by 3D SPIHT. Our approach was compared with 3D SPIHT with/without motion compensation. The results show our approach offers better performance in lossless compression rate.

Abstract
Recently the digital imaging applications is increasing significantly and it leads the requirement of effective image compression techniques. Image compression removes the redundant information from an image. By using it we can able to store only the necessary information which helps to reduce the transmission bandwidth, transmission time and storage size of image. This paper proposed a new image compression technique using DCT-Biorthogonal Wavelet Transform with arithmetic coding for improvement the visual quality of an image. It is a simple technique for getting better compression results. In this new algorithm firstly Biorthogonal wavelet transform is applied and then 2D DCT-Biorthogonal wavelet transform is applied on each block of the low frequency sub band. Finally, split all values from each transformed block and arithmetic coding is applied for image compression.

The Urban Surveillance Systems generate huge amount of video and image data and impose high pressure
onto the recording disks. It is obvious that the research of video is a key point of big data research areas.
Since videos are composed of images, the degree and efficiency of image compression are of great
importance. Although the DCT based JPEG standard are widely used, it encounters insurmountable
problems. For instance, image encoding deficiencies such as block artifacts have to be removed frequently.
In this paper, we propose a new, simple but effective method to fast reduce the visual block artifacts of DCT
compressed images for urban surveillance systems. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed
method achieves better quality than widely used filters while consuming much less computer CPU
resources.

A special image restoration problem is the reconstruction of image from projections – a problem of immense importance in medical imaging, computed tomography and non-destructive testing of objects. This is a problem where a two – dimensional (or higher) object is reconstructed from several one –dimensional projections [1]. The reconstruction techniques are broadly classified into three categories, analytical, iterative, and statistical [2]. The comparative study among these is of great importance in the field of medical imaging. This paper aims at comparative study by analyzing quantitatively the quality of image reconstructed by analytical and iterative techniques. Projections (parallel beam type) for the reconstruction are calculated analytically by defining Shepp logan phantom head model with coverage angle ranging from 0 to ±180o with rotational increment of 2o to 10o. For iterative reconstruction coverage angle of ±90o, iteration up to 10 is used. The original image is grayscale image of size 128 X 128. The Image quality of the reconstructed image is measured by six quality measurement parameters. In this paper as analytical technique; simple back projection and filtered back projection are implemented, while as iterative; algebraic reconstruction technique is implemented. Experiment result reveals that quality of reconstructed image increase as coverage angle, and number of views increases. The processing time is one major deciding component for reconstruction.

Medical Image Fusion Using Discrete Wavelet TransformIJERA Editor
Medical image fusion is the process of registering and combining multiple images from single or multiple imaging modalities to improve the imaging quality and reduce randomness and redundancy in order to increase the clinical applicability of medical images for diagnosis and assessment of medical problems. Multimodal medical image fusion algorithms and devices have shown notable achievements in improving clinical accuracy of decisions based on medical images. The domain where image fusion is readily used nowadays is in medical diagnostics to fuse medical images such as CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and MRA. This paper aims to present a new algorithm to improve the quality of multimodality medical image fusion using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) approach. Discrete Wavelet transform has been implemented using different fusion techniques including pixel averaging, maximum minimum and minimum maximum methods for medical image fusion. Performance of fusion is calculated on the basis of PSNR, MSE and the total processing time and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of fusion scheme based on wavelet transform.

Fingerprint Image Compression using Sparse Representation and Enhancement wit...Editor IJCATR
A technique for enhancing decompressed fingerprint image using Wiener2 filter is proposed. First compression is done by sparse representation. Compression of fingerprint is necessary for reducing the memory consumption and efficient transfer of fingerprint images. This is very essential for the application which includes access control and forensics. So the fingerprint image is compressed using sparse representation. In this technique, first dictionary is constructed for patches of fingerprint images. Then a fingerprint is selected and the coefficients are obtained and encoded. Thus the compressed fingerprint is obtained. But when the fingerprint is reconstructed, it is affected by noise. So Wiener2 filter is used to filter the noise in the image. The ridge and bifurcation count is extracted from decompressed and enhanced fingerprints. The experiment result shows that the enhanced fingerprint image preserves more bifurcation than decompressed fingerprint image. The future analysis can be considered for preserving ridges.
Combining 3D run-length encoding coding and searching techniques for medical...IJECEIAES
The field of image compression became a mandatory tool to face the increasing and advancing production of medical images, besides the inevitable need for smaller size of medical images in telemedicine systems. In spite of its simplicity, run-length encoding (RLE) technique is a considerably effective and practical tool in the field of lossless image compression. Such that, it is widely recommended for 2D space that utilizes common searching techniques like linear and zigzag. This paper adopts a new algorithm taking advantage of the potential simplicity of the run-length algorithm to contribute a volumetric RLE approach for binary medical data in the 3D form. The proposed volumetric-RLE (VRLE) algorithm differs from the 2D RLE approach utilizing correlations of intra-slice only, which is used for compressing binary medical data utilizing voxel-correlations of inter-slice. Furthermore, several forms of scanning are used to extending proposed technique like Hilbert and Perimeter, which determines the best possible procedure of scanning suitable for data morphology considering the segmented organ. This work employs proposed algorithm on four image datasets to get as sufficient as possible evaluation. Experimental results and benchmarking illustrate that the performance of the proposed technique surpasses other state-of-the-art techniques with 1:30 enhancement on average.
Super-Spatial Structure Prediction Compression of Medicalijeei-iaes
The demand to preserve raw image data for further processing has been increased with the hasty growth of digital technology. In medical industry the images are generally in the form of sequences which are much correlated. These images are very important and hence lossless compression Technique is required to reduce the number of bits to store these image sequences and take less time to transmit over the network The proposed compression method combines Super-Spatial Structure Prediction with inter-frame coding that includes Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation to achieve higher compression ratio. Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation is made with the fast block-matching process Inverse Diamond Search method. To enhance the compression ratio we propose a new scheme Bose, Chaudhuri and Hocquenghem (BCH). Results are compared in terms of compression ratio and Bits per pixel to the prior arts. Experimental results of our proposed algorithm for medical image sequences achieve 30% more reduction than the other state-of-the-art lossless image compression methods.
A spatial image compression algorithm based on run length encodingjournalBEEI
Image compression is vital for many areas such as communication and storage of data that is rapidly growing nowadays. In this paper, a spatial lossy compression algorithm for gray scale images is presented. It exploits the inter-pixel and the psycho-visual data redundancies in images. The proposed technique finds paths of connected pixels that fluctuate in value within some small threshold. The path is calculated by looking at the 4-neighbors of a pixel then choosing the best one based on two conditions; the first is that the selected pixel must not be included in another path and the second is that the difference between the first pixel in the path and the selected pixel is within the specified threshold value. A path starts with a given pixel and consists of the locations of the subsequently selected pixels. Run-length encoding scheme is applied on paths to harvest the inter-pixel redundancy. After applying the proposed algorithm on several test images, a promising quality vs. compression ratio results have been achieved.

MULTI WAVELET BASED IMAGE COMPRESSION FOR TELE MEDICAL APPLICATIONprj_publication
Analysis and compression of medical image is an important area of biomedical
engineering. Analysis of medical image and data compression are rapidly evolving field with
growing applications in the teleradiology, Bio-medical, tele-medicine and medical data
analysis. Wavelet based techniques are latest development in the field of medical image
compression. The ROI must be compressed by a Lossless or a near lossless compression
algorithm. Wavelet based techniques are most recent growth in the area of medical image
compression.
Wavelet multi-resolution decomposition of images has shown its efficiency in many
image processing areas and specifically in compression. Transformed coefficients are
obtained by expanding a signal on a wavelet basis. The transformed signal is a different
representation of the same underlying data. Such representation is efficient if a relevant part
of the original information is found in a relative small number of coefficients. In this sense,
wavelets are near optimal bases for a wide class of signals with some smoothness, which is
the reason for compression.
Keywords: Image compression, Integer Multiwavelet Transform.
1. INTRODUCTION
Image Compression is used to reduce the number of bits required to represent an

compressed information that requires fewer bits. The Decompression algorithm reconstructs
the compressed information and gives the original.

AN INTEGRATED METHOD OF DATA HIDING AND COMPRESSION OF MEDICAL IMAGESijait
A new technique for embedding data into an image coupled with compression has been proposed in this
paper. A fast and efficient coding algorithms are needed for effective storage and transmission, due to the
popularity of telemedicine and the use of digital medical images. Medical images are produced and
transferred between hospitals for review by physicians who are geographically apart. Such image data
need to be stored for future reference of patients as well. This necessitates compact storage of medical
images before being transmitted over Internet. Moreover, as the patient information is also embedded
within the medical images, it is very important to maintain the confidentiality of patient data. Hence, this
article aims at hiding patient information as well, within the medical image followed by joint compression.
The hidden data and the host image are absolutely recoverable from the embedded image without any loss.
Compressed Medical Image Transfer in Frequency DomainCSCJournals
A common approach to the medical image compression algorithm begins by separating the region of interests from the background of the medical images and then lossless and lossy compression schemes are applied on the ROI part and background respectively. The compressed files (ROI and background) are now transmitted through different media of communications (local host, Intranet and Internet) between the server and clients. In this work, a medical image transfer coding scheme based on lossless Haar wavelet transforms method is proposed. At first, the proposed scheme is tested on Intranet (for both RoI and background) in order to compare its results with Internet tests. An adaptive quantization algorithm is used to apply on quasi lossless ROI wavelet coefficients while a uniform quantization is used to apply on lossy background wavelet coefficients. Finally, the retained quantization indices are entropy encoded with an optimal variable coding algorithm. The test results have indicated that the performance of the proposed MITC via Intranet is much better than via Internet in terms of transferring time, while the quality of the reconstructed medical image remains constant despite the medium of communication. For best adopted parameters, a compressed medical image file (760 KB „³ 19.38 KB) is transmitted through Internet (bandwidth= 1024 kbps) with transfer time = 0.156 s while the uncompressed file is sent with transfer time = 6.192 s.
Internet data almost double every year. The need of multimedia communication
is less storage space and fast transmission. So, the large volume of video data has become
the reason for video compression. The aim of this paper is to achieve temporal compression
for three-dimensional (3D) videos using motion estimation-compensation and wavelets.
Instead of performing a two-dimensional (2D) motion search, as is common in conventional
video codec’s, the use of a 3D motion search has been proposed, that is able to better exploit
the temporal correlations of 3D content. This leads to more accurate motion prediction and
a smaller residual. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) compression scheme has been
added for better compression ratio. The DWT has a high-energy compaction property thus
greatly impacted the field of compression. The quality parameters peak signal to noise ratio
(PSNR) and mean square error (MSE) have been calculated. The simulation results shows
that the proposed work improves the PSNR from existing work.
A Secure Data Transmission Scheme using Asymmetric Semi-Homomorphic Encryptio...IJAAS Team
The compressive detecting based information accumulation accomplishes with high exactness in information recuperation from less inspection which is available in sensor nodes. In this manner, the existing methods available in the literature diminish the information gathering cost and delays the existence cycle of WSNs. In this paper, a strong achievable security model for sensor network applications was initially proposed. At that point, a secure data collection conspire was displayed based on compressive detecting, which improves the information protection by the asymmetric semi-homomorphic encryption scheme, and decreases the calculation cost by inadequate compressive grid. In this case, particularly the asymmetric mechanism decreases the trouble of mystery key circulation and administration. The proposed homomorphic encryption permits the in-arrange accumulation in cipher domain, and in this manner improves the security and accomplishes the adjustment in system stack. Further, this paper focuses on estimating various network performances such as the calculation cost and correspondence cost, which remunerates the expanding cost caused by the homomorphic encryption. A real time validation on the proposed encryption scheme using AVISPA was additionally performed and the results are satisfactory.

As innovation scales, it empowers more unpredictable frameworks that join many channels. In those perplexing frameworks, it is regular that a portion of the channels work in parallel. A plan in view of big rectification coding has been as of late proposed to protect parallel channels. In that plan, each channel is deal with as a bit, and excess channels that go about as equality check bits are acquainted with distinguish and rectify blunders. In this short, applying coding systems to secure parallel channels is tended to in a broader manner. This decreases the assurance overhead and makes the quantity of excess channels autonomous of the quantity of parallel channels. The proposed technique is first described and then illustrated with two case studies. Finally, both the effectiveness in protecting against errors and the cost are evaluated for a field-programmable gate array implementation.

As per the need, the generation of electricity varies with respect to the flow through the use of flow control sensor. The generated electricity is then used for powering the street lights, gardening and run-way paths, during night time. The flow control sensor when integrated using IoT and cloud storage facilitates efficiency and scalability thereby providing massive utilization of energy usage.
Early Detection of High Blood Pressure and Diabetic Retinopathy on Retinal Fu...IJAAS Team
In this paper we present a lifting wavelet based CBRIR image retrieval system that uses color and texture as visual features to describe the content of a retinal fundus images. Our contribution is of three directions. First, we use lifting wavelets 9/7 for lossy and SPL5/3 for lossless to extract texture features from arbitrary shaped retinal fundus regions separated from an image to increase the system effectiveness. This process is performed offline before query processing, therefore to answer a query our system does not need to search the entire database images; instead just a number of similar class type patient images are required to be searched for image similarity. Third, to further increase the retrieval accuracy of our system, we combine the region based features extracted from image regions, with global features extracted from the whole image, which are texture using lifting wavelet and HSV color histograms. Our proposed system has the advantage of increasing the retrieval accuracy and decreasing the retrieval time. The experimental evaluation of the system is based on a db1 online retinal fundus color image database. From the experimental results, it is evident that our system performs significantly better accuracy as compared with traditional wavelet based systems. In our simulation analysis, we provide a comparison between retrieval results based on features extracted from the whole image using lossless 5/3 lifting wavelet and features extracted using lossless 9/7 lifting wavelet and using traditional wavelet. The results demonstrate that each type of feature is effective for a particular type of disease of retinal fundus images according to its semantic contents, and using lossless 5/3 lifting wavelet of them gives better retrieval results for almost all semantic classes and outperform 4-10% more accuracy than traditional wavelet.

Spectral Efficient Blind Channel Estimation Technique for MIMO-OFDM Communica...IJAAS Team
With emerge of increasing research in the domain of future wireless communications, massive MIMO (multiple inputs multiple outputs) attracted most of researchers interests. Massive MIMO is high-speed wireless communication standards. A channel estimation technology plays the essential role in the MIMO systems. Efficient channel estimation leads to spectral efficient wireless communications. The critics of Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) are the challenging tasks while designing the channel estimation methods. To mitigate the challenges of ISI, we proposed the novel blind channel estimation method which based on Independent component analysis (ICA) in this paper. Proposed channel estimation it works for both blind interference cancellation and ISI cancellation. The proposed Hybrid ICA (HICA) method depends on pulse shape filtering and ambiguity removal to improve the spectral efficiency and reliability for MIMO communications. The Kurtosis operation is used to measure the complex data at first to estimate the common signals. Then we exploited the advantages of 3rd and 4th order Higher Order Statistics (HOS) to priorities the common signals during the channel estimation. In this paper, we present the detailed design and evaluation of HICA blind channel estimation method. We showed the simulation results of HICA against the state-of-art techniques for channel estimation using BER, MSE, and PAPR.
An Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets Implementation for Key Distribution in Hybrid Me...IJAAS Team
WSN is a way of handling dangerous and hostile environments safely. It replaces human existence with nodes and units that could sustain its existence under extreme circumstances. The significance of WSN arises from the importance of the data gathered through its nodes. Due to the fact of WSN that it is open air environment, security issues must be considered, for example authentication of new units and the encryption of data transmitted between these units. This research provides a new model covering two important aspects in WSN. The first aspect is the creation of the key that will be used for the current session between a pair of nodes. In this step the research introduces the intuitionistic fuzzy sets to handle the WSN criteria simultaneously and efficiently, in order to decide the exact key length required depending on the status of the network parameters. The second aspect is the distribution of the key between the units desiring communications. This phase starts by authenticating each entity to each other and to the cluster head, then one unit suggests a key and the other one confirms. It then starts communication using that key. This phase shows the hybrid cryptography applied in which the algorithm uses asymmetric encryption for authentication then uses symmetric encryption to secure the connection between the two units. Experimental results in this research could categorized also into two classes. The first class is key size model in which the proposed model compared to ordinary KNN and fuzzy model related to the determination of the key size. The proposed model shows an overall efficient way relating to decide the key size. The second class of experiments is to distribute the intermediate key efficiently; at this point the proposed model shows resilience and efficiency compared to distributing the key directly through cluster head.
Angular Symmetric Axis Constellation Model for Off-line Odia Handwritten Char...IJAAS Team
Optical character recognition is one of the emerging research topics in the field of image processing, and it has extensive area of application in pattern recognition. Odia handwritten script is the most research concern area because it has eldest and most likable language in the state of odisha, India. Odia character is a usually handwritten, which was generally occupied by scanner into machine readable form. In this regard several recognition technique have been evolved for variance kind of languages but writing pattern of odia character is just like as curve appearance; Hence it is more difficult for recognition. In this article we have presented the novel approach for Odia character recognition based on the different angle based symmetric axis feature extraction technique which gives high accuracy of recognition pattern. This empirical model generates a unique angle based boundary points on every skeletonised character images. These points are interconnected with each other in order to extract row and column symmetry axis. We extracted feature matrix having mean distance of row, mean angle of row, mean distance of column and mean angle of column from centre of the image to midpoint of the symmetric axis respectively. The system uses a 10 fold validation to the random forest (RF) classifier and SVM for feature matrix. We have considered the standard database on 200 images having each of 47 Odia character and 10 Odia numeric for simulation. As we have noted outcome of simulation of SVM and RF yields 96.3% and 98.2% accuracy rate on NIT Rourkela Odia character database and 88.9% and 93.6% from ISI Kolkata Odia numerical database.
Energy and Load Aware Routing Protocol for Internet of ThingsIJAAS Team
Maximizing the network lifetime is one of the major challenges in Low Power and Lossy Networks (LLN). Routing plays a vital role in it by minimizing the energy consumption across the networks through the efficient route selection for data transfer. IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is a IETF standardized IPv6 routing protocol for LLN. In this paper, we propose Energy and Load aware RPL (EL-RPL) protocol, which is an enhancement of RPL protocol. It uses a composite metric, calculated based on expected transmission count (ETX), Load and battery depletion index (BDI), for the route, selection. The COOJA simulator is used for performance evaluation. EL-RPL is compared with other similar protocols RER(BDI) RPL and fuzzy logic based RPL (OF-FL RPL). The simulation result shows that the EL-RPL improves the network lifetime by 8- 12% and packet delivery ratio 2-4%.

This paper presents unipolar pulse width modulation technique with sinusoidal sampling pulse width modulation are analyzed for three-phase five-level, seven-level, nine-level and eleven-level cascaded multi-level inverter. The unipolar PWM method offers a good opportunity for the realization of the Three-phase inverter control, it is better to use the unipolar PWM method with single carrier wave compared to two reference waves. In such case the motor harmonic losses will be considerably lower.The necessary calculations for generation of unipolar pulse width modulation strategies have presented in detail. The unipolar SPWM voltage switching scheme is selected in this paper because this method offers the advantages of effectively doubling the switching frequency of the inverter voltage. The cascaded multi level inverter fed induction motor is simulated and compared the total harmonic distroction for all level (five-level, seven-level, nine-level and elevel-level)of the inverter. Theoretical investigations were confirmed by the digital simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

Depth Estimation from Defocused Images: a SurveyIJAAS Team
An important step in 3D data generation is the generation of depth map. Depth map is a black and white image which has exactly the same size of the original captured 2D image that indicates the relative distance of each pixel from the observer to the objects in the real world. This paper presents a survey of Depth Perception from Defocused or blurs images as well as image from motion. The change of distance of the object from the camera has direct relation with the amount of blurring of object in the image. The amount of blurring will be calculated with a comparison in front of the camera directly and can be seen with the changes at gray level around the edges of objects.
CP-NR Distributed Range Free Localization Algorithm in WSNIJAAS Team
Advancements in wireless communication technology have empowered the researchers to develop large scale wireless networks with huge number of sensor nodes. In these networks localization is very active field of research. Localization is a way to determine the physical position of sensor nodes which is useful in many aspects such as to find the origin of events, routing and network coverage. Locating nodes with GPS systems is expensive, power consuming and not applicable to indoor environments. Localization in three dimensional space and accuracy of the estimated location are two factors of major concern. In this paper, a new three dimensional Distributed range-free algorithm which is known as CP-NR is proposed. This algorithm has high localization accuracy and resolved the problem of existing NR algorithm. CP-NR (Coplanar and Projected Node Reproduction) algorithm makes use of co-planarity and projection of point on plane concepts to reduce the localization error. Results have shown that CP-NR algorithm is superior to NR algorithm and comparison is done for the localization accuracy with respect to variations in range, anchor density and node density.

In this paper, a study was conducted on the sustainable development of solar and wind energy sources. The approach adopted is to exploit the two renewable resources by arriving to determine optimal configurations of photovoltaic and / or wind energy system with storage to provide electricity to a self-contained residential apartment located in the city of Tlemcen , in Algeria. The Tlemcen site showed a more favourable trend to use the photovoltaic system alone on the hybrid PV / wind system because of the low wind speeds of this site. The calculation method used is based on the monthly averages for ten consecutive years, data collected by the Tlemcen Zenâta weather station in order to have a better reliability analysis of an electric power generation system. In addition, the methods used in this study can be used to determine the optimal size of the most economical hybrid system that corresponds to any site in the world and for any requested load.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

and multi-frame motion compensation where each block of inter slices can be predicted from multi reference
slices in 𝑧 dimension in its first application and 𝑡 dimension in its second application.
Martin et al. proposed in [3] a new method of 4D medical images compression also based on the
H.264 video coding where predicted slices are generated by using spatio-temporal reference slices from 𝑧 and
temporal neighborhood, where differently to precedent technique which realizes prediction in 𝑧 dimension
followed by prediction in 𝑡 dimension, this technique realizes spatio-temporal prediction where each block of
inter slice can be predicted from multi reference slices in spatio-temporal neighborhood, this permits to obtain
a good results in compression compared prediction in 𝑧 dimension or prediction in time dimension.
All the previous cited works (based on H.264 video coding) don’t integrate progressive lossy to
lossless decoding in their schemes. Other techniques apply wavelet transform indeed it can be combined with
image compression technique as fractal to improve time coding [4] also wavelet transform is very effective in
medical image and video compression thus a lot of works are proposed as in [5] the authors presented color
video medical compression technique by using geometric wavelet in order to eliminate efficiently similarity in
each frame composed the video sequence with good image quality but without exploiting the temporal
redundancies.
The first proposed works based on wavelet transform in literature for lossless 4D medical images
compression do not integrate motion compensation in compression scheme thus in [6] the authors compared
three techniques using JPEG2000. The first technique consists to apply 2D wavelet transform to each slice
composed the volumes and compress it separately by using JPEG2000. The second technique is represented
by two variants: the first variant is application of 1D wavelet transform in 𝑧 dimension, the second variant is
application of 1D wavelet transform in 𝑡 dimension and for both variants the obtained slices are compressed
by JPEG2000. The third technique is application of 1D wavelet transform in 𝑡 dimension flowed by 1D wavelet
transform in 𝑧 dimension the obtained slices are compressed by JPEG2000. The exploitation of temporal
dimension in second and third technique provides better results in compression rate because the numerous
similarities in temporal dimension.
Due to efficiency of the motion compensation in the video compression scheme to reduce temporal
redundancies Kasim et al. [7] proposed a wavelets compression technique of 4D medical images based on
motion compensation and integer wavelet transform, here the 4D image is compressed as a sequence of 3D
images. This technique consists to achieve 3D motion compensation in order to eliminate efficiently similarities
existing between volumes in temporal direction, after the resulting volumes are decorrelated by 3D integer
wavelet transform. The obtained data are coded by 3D SPIHT. This method allows lossless coding and
progressive lossy to lossless decoding.
The first step is motion estimation inter 3D images. Where a group of 𝑛 3D images are represented
by one key image (the first image in a group is compressed without motion compensation) and 𝑛 − 1 inter
images. Each current image (at position 𝑡) to be predicted is divided in cubes for each cube it most similar cube
in reference image (at position 𝑡 − 1) is found. The difference between the position of current cube and it most
similar cube is motion vectors and the difference between those cubes generates the residual image.
Thus the results of this step are 3D key image, 𝑛 − 1 3D residual images and corresponding motion
vectors. To reconstruct the initial group of images, the key image and the corresponding motion vectors is used
to obtain predicted image which permits to reconstruct the first inter image by adding the predicted image to
the first residual image, the followed inter images at position 𝑡 are reconstructed as the first one by using inter
image at position 𝑡 − 1 and corresponding motion vectors. The second step consists to apply 3D integer wavelet
transform to key image and residual images and in final step the key and residual images are coded by using
3D SPIHT, also the motion vectors are entropy coded. This technique permits to realize lossless compression
and progressive lossy to lossless decoding by transmission a part of bit stream of key images followed by a
part of bit stream of each inter image this permits to improve progressively the image quality in decompression.
All cited works of 4D medical image compression try to eliminate the redundancies by using different
prediction techniques in 𝑡 and 𝑧 dimensions either by applying motion compensation or by applying wavelet
transform or by applying both motion compensation flowed by wavelet transform.
In this paper we propose a new lossless compression approach based on adapted filtering in inter slices
direction to improve the elimination of redundancies in 4D medical images. This approach consists to apply
2D integer wavelet transform to each slices followed or not by either wavelet filter or motion compensation in
inter slices direction. The obtained slices are coded with 3D SPIHT. The experimental results are compared to
two approaches: 3D SPIHT using motion compensated temporal filter in inter slices direction and 3D SPIHT
(without motion compensation), the obtained lossless compression rates show our approach outperforms two
other approaches. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. The section 2 presents prediction techniques
used in video compression. The section 3 details the proposed approach of compression. In the section 4 the

experimental results for lossless compression are compared to other compression approaches. In final section
conclusions are presented.
2. MOTION COMPENSATION AND TEMPORAL FILTERING
The principals video compression techniques used in 4D medical images compression are represented
by two types of technique: H.264/AVC video coding and wavelet video coding. These techniques are based on
motion compensation to eliminate the redundancies as in H.264/AVC coder the motion compensation is applied
by using the block matching to attain the minimum prediction error which is the minimum difference between
current block (to be predicted) and reference block in search window, also the reference blocks can be
determined from multi reference images with variable block size.
The lossless 4D compression techniques based on H.264/AVC offer good compression rate but
without permitting the progressive decoding, the alternative is the wavelet techniques which produce scalable
flux and realize good decorrelation of signal as presented in [7] where the progressive decoding is obtained by
reordering of bit stream, the progressive decoding can be also obtained by using temporal scalability but it is
not used here cause the motion compensation and wavelet transform is achieved separately.
In order to obtain temporal scalability and efficiency eliminate temporal redundancies the recent
wavelet video coding apply the wavelet transform in motion trajectory by using motion compensated temporal
filtering (MCTF). In wavelet video coding the MCTF can be applied before spatial decorrelation with wavelet
transform (t+2D) or after spatial decorrelation in wavelet domain (2D+t or in-band) flowed by entropy coding.
The first works in video compression [8], [9] integrated Haar motion compensated temporal filtering
where the images are separated in even images and odd images, the even images are low pass filtered and the
odd images are high pass filtered, the obtained low pass images are also separated in even images and odd
images and filtered till the temporal level decomposition is done. The filtering is realized in temporal trajectory
determined by motion compensation to reduce the energy in obtained high pass filtered images. With the
emergence of lifting scheme for the calculation of the integer wavelet coefficients, other works were carried as
in [10] the authors defined two filters: motion compensated Haar lifting filter and motion compensated 5/3
lifting filter ; the use of motion compensated 5/3 lifting filter gave the best results.
The scheme lifting is achieved using two steps prediction and update: the prediction step retains
difference between two samples of signal (high pass filtering) and the update step retains the average therefore
an approximation of signal (low pass filtering).
In [11] the authors introduced the motion compensated truncated 5/3 lifting filter where only the
prediction step of lifting is performed, thus each high pass filtered image is obtained by determining the
prediction error from neighbor reference images forward and backward. We propose an adaptive prediction in
order to ameliorate lossless 4D medical images compression rate, we apply either 5/3 truncated lifting filter or
motion compensated, if one of them minimize prediction error in inter slices direction.
3. PROPOSED COMPRESSION SCHEME
The first step of our scheme is formation of GOS (Group Of Slices) from 4D medical image followed
by application of 2D integer wavelet transform (2D IWT) in spatial directions (𝑥, 𝑦) of each slices, the second
step is inter slices filtering of each GOS and the final step is coding of obtained slices, motion vectors and
etiquettes. As shown in Figure 1 proposed compression scheme.
Figure 1. Proposed compression scheme
We describe these steps in the following points.

3.1. Construction of GOS and spatial transform
The GOS are formed from the slices of 4D medical image (𝑥,𝑦,𝑧,𝑡) as shows in Figure 2(a). This
construction permits to obtain a set of GOS representing 4D medical image with each GOS is composed with
nearest slices in spatial direction 𝑧 across time.
Figure 2. (a) 4D Image composed by 3 volumes. (b) Construction of GOS composed by 16 slices (in
gray)
In Figure 2(b) the slices in gray represent the first GOS with 16 slices of 4D image composed by 3
volumes, thus all GOS of 4D image are also formed with follow slices in the same direction used for the first
GOS (across time), as the second GOS starts with slice 17. Next the formation of GOS each slice is transformed
by 2D integer wavelet transform using lifting scheme [12] in spatial directions (𝑥, 𝑦). This transform is
reversible; it allows producing integer wavelet coefficients which permits lossless compression.
3.2. Inter Slices Filtering
After spatial transform each obtained GOS is filtered by the proposed filter in inter slices direction
based on truncated lifting scheme and motion compensation. The motion compensated truncated 5/3 lifting
filter proposed in [11] is realized by application of the truncated lifting scheme and motion compensation in
the same time, the truncated lifting scheme achieves only prediction step of lifting scheme. The motion
compensated truncated 5/3 lifting filter (MC Trunc 5/3) for the block Sk [m, n] can be formulated as:
𝑅[𝑚, 𝑛] = 𝑆 𝑘[𝑚, 𝑛] − ⌊0.5 × (𝑆 𝑘−1[𝑚 − 𝑑1𝑚, 𝑛 − 𝑑1𝑛] + 𝑆 𝑘+1[𝑚 − 𝑑2𝑚, 𝑛 − 𝑑2𝑛])⌋ (1)
Where Sk-1, Sk+1 : reference slices, and Sk: inter slice.
R: residual slice (high pass slice).
(d1m, d1n): motion vector of block Sk [m, n] to a position in Sk-1.
(d2m, d2n): motion vector of block Sk [m, n] to a position in Sk+1.
.
: corresponds to round operator.
The motion compensation is realised by using block motion model so each inter slice (to be predicted)
is divided in blocks and each block is filtered by MC Trunc 5/3. This filter achieves bi-directional motion
compensation thus for each current block in Sk it most similar block is determined in Sk-1 and in Sk+1 and the
difference between the position of current block and these blocks represents motion vectors, the criteria of
similarities used is minimum sum of absolute differences (SAD). Thus each inter slice is replaced by two
motion fields as shows in Figure 3(a) and residual slice.

In our scheme each inter slice (to be predicted) is divided in block and each block is either unfiltered
or filtered by one of following prediction techniques: Truncated 5/3 lifting transform or motion compensation.
This filtering can be represented by three following prediction errors:
The unfiltered block Sk[m,n]:
𝐸1[𝑚, 𝑛] = 𝑆 𝑘[𝑚, 𝑛] (2)
The truncated 5/3 lifting transform (without motion compensation):
𝐸2[𝑚, 𝑛] = 𝑆 𝑘[𝑚, 𝑛] − ⌊0.5 × (𝑆 𝑘−1[𝑚, 𝑛] + 𝑆 𝑘+1[𝑚, 𝑛])⌋ (3)
The motion compensated prediction:
𝐸3[𝑚, 𝑛] = 𝑆 𝑘[𝑚, 𝑛] − 𝑆 𝑘−1[𝑚 − 𝑑 𝑚, 𝑛 − 𝑑 𝑛] (4)
Where (dm, dn): motion vector of block Sk [m, n] to a position in Sk-1.
Between the three prediction errors the minimum is chosen for determining the prediction error of this
block Sk[m,n] and its prediction method.
The prediction error E1 represents the unfiltered block Sk[m,n], the prediction error E2 represents
prediction step in 5/3 lifting transform and the prediction error E3 is the difference between block Sk[m,n] and
it most similar block in slice Sk-1 as shows in Figure 3(b), the motion vector (dm, dn) represents the displacement
which allows minimizing E3.
So each inter slice is replaced by one motion field (forward) and/or etiquette (to indicate which
prediction error is used) and residual slice.

Figure 4 presents 3 decomposition levels of MC Trunc 5/3 for GOS with 16 slices; the number of
obtained slices of MC Trunc 5/3 is the same to our scheme which is composed by 2 reference slices (1, 9) and
14 residual slices (R1, R2, … R14), the slice (17) represents the first reference slice in the next GOS.
However for motion coding, the approach with MC Trunc 5/3 produces two motion fields and our
approach one motion field (forward) and etiquette for each predicted block by E3 and only etiquette for each
predicted block by E1 or E2.
3.3. Reference and residual slices, motion vectors and etiquettes coding
The obtained reference and residual slices composed GOS are coded by 3D SPIHT [13] (Set
Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) and generated bit stream is coded by arithmetic coder, 3D SPIHT is used as
in video coding and volumetric image coding, it is a bit plan coder and it permits to reduce data size by
exploiting the inter dependences of subbands in three dimensions 𝑥, 𝑦 and inter slices. Concerning the motion
vectors and etiquettes are coded by arithmetic coder.
4. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
We tested the proposed compression method with five native 4D medical images CT (Computed
Tomography) of heart from two references [14][15] shown in Figure 5. Each one is composed by 10 volumes
and the spatial resolution of slices is 512×512 coded on 16bits per pixel. However the volumes of each 4D
medical image have different sizes: data of reference [14] Image1 (141 slices/volume), Image2 (169
slices/volume) and Image3 (170 slices/volume) data of reference [15] Image4 (136 slices/volume) and Image5
(120 slices/volume).

We compare the experimental results of our approach with MC Trunc 5/3 approach (3D SPIHT with
MC Trunc 5/3) and 3D SPIHT without motion compensation. For all these approaches GOS are composed by
16 slices formed as shows in Figure 2 (b).

Lossless 4D Medical Images Compression Using Adaptive Inter Slices Filtering (Leila Belhadef)
367
After each GOS is transformed with 3 levels 2D integer wavelet transform in spatial directions (𝑥, 𝑦)
we use 5/3 filter. In inter slices direction of GOS our approach uses the proposed filter equations (2, 3 and 4),
the MC Trunc 5/3 approach uses equation (1) with also three levels of decomposition for both. However 3D
SPIHT without motion compensation uses in inter slices direction 1D integer wavelet transform with three
levels of decomposition of the same used filter in spatial directions (5/3). The obtained subbands of three
approaches are coded with 3D SPIHT.
The lifting scheme is very applied in medical image compression with traditionnel filters as 5/3 but
other new filters can be tested in spatial directions [16]. The motion vectors are determined by block motion
compensation model with full search method, the search is effectuated with block size of 16×16 pixels in our
approach and MC Trunc 5/3 approach. The Table 1 lists the obtained average bit rate for the lossless
compression using two first volumes of each 4D medical image.
Table 1. 4D Lossless Compression Results in bit per pixel (bpp)
4D Medical Images 3D SPIHT MC Trunc 5/3 Proposed Method
Image1 5.19 5.23 5.10
Image2 5.92 5.97 5.89
Image3 5.39 5.45 5.36
Image4 5.03 5.06 4.98
Image5 4.53 4.55 4.35
The results show our method outperforms the other methods for all test images. 3D SPIHT gives low
average bit rate than MC Trunc 5/3 of 0.76% , thus the integration of the motion compensated truncated 5/3
lifting filter in 3D SPIHT penalises the compression rate in MC Trunc 5/3 approach. However the proposed
inter slices filter improves the compression rate (low bit rate) with average of 1.45% compared to 3D SPIHT,
as well a net improvement is reached of the order of 2.2% compared to MC Trunc 5/3.
The average improvement by proposed technique compared to 3D SPIHT is obtained by using image1
thus we use it in following test. The experimental results presented in Table 2 are obtained by testing five
different sizes of image1, thus line 2 represents lossless compression results of 2 first volumes of image1, line
3 of 4 first volumes of Image1 and so on to the last line of 10 first volumes of image1, these different sizes of
Image1 permit to obtain differents GOS by reorganizing the slices as in Figure 2 (b).

8Volumes Image1 4.98 5.00 4.92
10Volumes Image1 4.99 4.96 4.90
The obtained compression rate by proposed method is better than other schemes for all images test. We
note that the bit rate is reduced for all compression schemes while the number of temporal slices (at different
time and with the same position 𝑧) composed GOS increase. The results show a variation of the compression
rate as a function of the number of volumes. The improvement of this rate by our approach is of the order of
1.73% and 1.85% compared to 3D SPIHT and MC Trunc 5/3 respectively, while it does not exceed 0.11%
between the latter two methods.
5. CONCLUSION
In this paper we proposed a new approach of lossless compression of 4D medical images, it consists
in construction of GOS and each slices composed GOS is decorrelated in spatial directions (𝑥,𝑦), after proposed
inter slices filtering is performed with minimum of three predicted errors for each block composed inter slices.
The three prediction errors are represented by unfiltered block, truncated 5/3 lifting filter and motion
compensated the aim is to reduce the size of residual slices. The obtained slices are coded with 3D SPIHT. The
proposed approach provides lossless compression improvements by reducing the bit rates compared to 3D
SPIHT with MC trunc 5/3 and 3D SPIHT without motion compensation, this enhancement is due to the
integration of the three prediction techniques in inter slices filter. As future work, our approach offers the
possibility to obtain lossy to lossless decoding by exploiting inter slices scalability also other 4D medical image
modalities can be tested.
