Enhanced compression rate of integral images by using motion-compensated residual images in three-dimensional integral-imaging.

In this paper, we proposed a new approach to notably enhance the compression rate of integral images by using the motion-compensated residual images (MCRIs). In the proposed method, sub-images (SIs) transformed from the picked-up elemental images of a three-dimensional (3-D) object, are sequentially rearranged with a spiral scanning topology. The moving vectors among the SIs, then, are estimated and compensated with the block-matching algorithm.

Evaluation of compressed video-images for emergency telemedicine work with trauma patients.

Video-encoders in telemedicine systems need to adjust their coding methods for operation on heterogeneous networks on which bandwidth fluctuates. We evaluated MPEG-4 compressed video-pictures of three trauma patients. We compared the original video-frames with compressed video-frames in terms of the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR).
