Abstract

Lossless image coding is a crucial task especially in the medical area, e.g., for volumes from Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Tomography. Besides lossless coding, compensated wavelet lifting offers a scalable representation of such huge volumes. While compensation methods increase the details in the lowpass band, they also vary the characteristics of the wavelet coefficients, so an adaption of the coefficient coder should be considered. We propose a simple invertible extension for JPEG 2000 that can reduce the filesize for lossless coding of the highpass band by 0.8% on average with peak rate saving of 1.1%.
