JPEG 2000, an adapted compression method for ultrasound images ? A comparative study

摘要

This paper presents an evaluation of various compression techniques, for ultrasound images transmission, within a telemedicine project. For this work, we selected six lossless compression methods and three lossy ones among which the new image standard JPEG2000. We compared these techniques, thanks to mean square error and coding time measurements, to determine which one would provide the best compromise between coding performance and image quality measured.
