Abstract

A distortion-free method for compression of computer tomograms is proposed. The method is based on description (compression) of data obtained as a result of 2D wavelet transform of the initial image (tomogram). Experimental estimates for the speed of coding are presented. It is shown that the efficiency of the proposed method is higher than that of the method based on describing the errors of the simplest prediction.
