TLDR
The results show that JPEG-LS is the algorithm with the best performance, both in terms of compression ratio and compression speed in the application of compressing medical infrared images.Abstract:
Several popular lossless image compression algorithms were evaluated for the application of compressing medical infrared images. Lossless JPEG, JPEG-LS, JPEG2000, PNG, and CALIC were tested on an image dataset of 380+ thermal images. The results show that JPEG-LS is the algorithm with the best performance, both in terms of compression ratio and compression speedread more

A Lossless Compression Method for Medical Image Sequences Using JPEG-LS and Interframe Coding
TL;DR: This paper proposes a method that combines the JPEG-LS and an interframe coding with motion vectors to enhance the compression performance of using JPEG- LS alone, and achieves average compression gains of 13.3% and 26.3 % over the methods of using Photoshop and JPEG2000 alone, respectively.

A universal algorithm for sequential data compression
Jacob Ziv,A. Lempel +1 more
TL;DR: The compression ratio achieved by the proposed universal code uniformly approaches the lower bounds on the compression ratios attainable by block-to-variable codes and variable- to-block codes designed to match a completely specified source.

The LOCO-I lossless image compression algorithm: principles and standardization into JPEG-LS
TL;DR: LOCO-I as discussed by the authors is a low complexity projection of the universal context modeling paradigm, matching its modeling unit to a simple coding unit, which is based on a simple fixed context model, which approaches the capability of more complex universal techniques for capturing high-order dependencies.

The JPEG2000 still image coding system: an overview
TL;DR: It is interesting to note that JPEG2000 is being designed to address the requirements of a diversity of applications, e.g. Internet, color facsimile, printing, scanning, digital photography, remote sensing, mobile applications, medical imagery, digital library and E-commerce.

Context-based, adaptive, lossless image coding
Xiaolin Wu,Nasir Memon +1 more
TL;DR: The CALIC obtains higher lossless compression of continuous-tone images than other lossless image coding techniques in the literature and can afford a large number of modeling contexts without suffering from the context dilution problem of insufficient counting statistics as in the latter approach.

A reappraisal of the use of infrared thermal image analysis in medicine
TL;DR: While the use of infrared imaging is increasing in many industrial and security applications, it has declined in medicine probably because of the continued reliance on first generation cameras.
