Lossless compression of mammographic images with region‐based predictor selection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract One of the main tools for early diagnosis of breast cancer is digital mammography. These images require large storage space and are difficult to be transmitted over communication links. In this paper we propose a context‐based method for lossless compression of these images. Some modifications are performed to customize the activity level classification model (ALCM) predictor to work best in mammograms. The function of the modified predictor changes for different main regions of these images. Also, best qualities of two other predictors are exploited and the results of the fittest predictor are selected adaptively for the prediction of a pixel. Moreover, context modeling is used for a better categorization of the prediction errors. The proposed algorithm was tested using images from a well‐known database and the results were compared with two standard compression methods of lossless mode of JPEG2000 and JPEG‐LS. The proposed method was proved to produce better compression results than those of the standard algorithms. © 2013 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
