The compression efficiency of most of lossless image encoders is severely affected when handling sparse histogram images. In this paper, we presented an analysis of the histogram sparseness impact on lossless image compression standards and a new preprocessing technique was proposed in order to improve the compression performance for sparse histogram images. The proposed technique takes advantage of the high likelihood between neighboring image blocks. For each image block, the proposed method associates the most reduced set representing its active symbols and makes the histogram dense. This technique proved to be efficient without applying any modification to the basic code of the state-of the art lossless image compression techniques. We showed experimentally that the proposed method outperforms JPEG-LS, CALIC and JPEG 2000 and achieves lower bitrates.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66731686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tests were taken based on the HMM and Gaussian mixture distributions. Hidden Markov toolkit (HTK) has been used in implementation and test phases. The word error rate (WER) came initially to 29.41 and reduced to about 11.52% thanks to extensive testing and change of the recognition's parameters.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66731694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Next, the pre-processed images are clustered by using K-means and fuzzy c-means (FCM). In the very next step, the clustered images multi-features are fused by different data fusion approaches, and then segment the exact tumour area by using the active contour models such as level set method (LSM) and Chan-Vese (C-V).
