Abstract

Abstract The proposed compression method is based on the application of a two-dimensional discrete fast wavelet transform (FWT) to planar scans of 3D ultrasound images in order to simultaneously reduce redundancy and suppress speckle at a fixed quota of bits. The main idea of the method is to fuse three rules for threshold processing the wavelet coefficients of the scans, uniform and non-uniform quantizers, and bit quota distributions over subbands of the scan FWT based on the proposed cost function. The simulation results have shown that at the encoding rate of up to 1 bit/pixel, the quantity of artefacts were decreased up to 5-7 % of the original quantity under a signal-to-speckle ratio more than 16 dB, and the structural similarity index (SSIM) increased to 0.94-0.97 for defects of rectangular, triangular and oval shapes. The paper also presents the results proving the effectiveness of the proposed method in comparison with some variants of the solution according to the scheme “pre-filtering + codec”.
