A method to improve HEVC lossless coding of volumetric medical images

作者:

Highlights:

• A new method for lossless compression of volumetric medical images is proposed.

• Method is based on Least-Squares Prediction and implemented as add-on to HEVC.

• Method takes advantage of the redundancy between slices of medical image volumes.

• Achieves a significant performance improvement over state-of-the-art encoders.
