In recent years, 3D point clouds have enjoyed a great popularity for representing both static
and dynamic 3D objects. When compared to 3D meshes, they offer the advantage of …

We have provided an overview of state-of-the-art ROI coding techniques applied to medical
images. These techniques are classified according to the image type they apply to; thus the …

The demand for higher and higher quality images transmitted quickly over the Internet has
led to a strong need to develop better algorithms for the filtering and coding of such images …

This paper presents an efficient video coding algorithm: Three-dimensional embedded
subband coding with optimized truncation (3-D ESCOT), in which coefficients in different …

In order to ef ciently archive and transmit large 3D models, lossy and lossless compression
methods are needed. We propose a compression scheme for coordinate data of point-based …

We propose disparity-compensated lifting for wavelet compression of light fields. With this
approach, we obtain the benefits of wavelet coding, such as scalability in all dimensions, as …

Spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity requirements for some types of medical image
techniques, including mammography, delay the implementation of new digital technologies …

We present a generic framework for compression of densely sampled three‐dimensional
(3D) surfaces in order to satisfy the increasing demand for storing large amounts of 3D …

In this paper, a new weighted adaptive lifting (WAL)-based wavelet transform is presented.
The proposed WAL approach is designed to solve the problems existing in the previous …

Most of the commercial medical image viewers do not provide scalability in image
compression and/or region of interest (ROI) encoding/decoding. Furthermore, these viewers …
