In the recent days, the importance of image compression techniques is exponentially increased due to the generation of massive amount of data which needs to be stored or transmitted. Numerous approaches have been presented for effective image compression by the principle of representing images in its compact form through the avoidance of unnecessary pixels. Vector quantization (VA) is an effective method in image compression and the construction of quantization table is an important process is an important task. The compression performance and the quality of reconstructed data are based on the quantization table, which is actually a matrix of 64 integers. The quantization table selection is a complex combinatorial problem which can be resolved by the evolutionary algorithms (EA). Presently, EA became famous to resolve the real world problems in a reasonable amount of time. This chapter introduces Firefly (FF) with Teaching and learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm termed as FF-TLBO algorithm for the selection of quantization table and introduces Firefly with Tumbling algorithm termed as FF-Tumbling algorithm for the selection of search space. As the FF algorithm faces a problem when brighter FFs are insignificant, the TLBO algorithm is integrated to it to resolve the problem and Tumbling efficiently train the algorithm to explore all direction in the solution space. This algorithm determines the best fit value for every bock as local best and best fitness value for the entire image is considered as global best. When these values are found by FF algorithm, compression process takes place by efficient image compression algorithm like Run Length Encoding and Huffman coding. The proposed FF-TLBO and FF-Tumbling algorithm is evaluated by comparing its results with existing FF algorithm using a same set of benchmark images in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The obtained results ensure the superior performance of FF-TLBO and FF-Tumbling algorithm over FF algorithm and make it highly useful for real time applications.

Image compression is the process of reducing the size of a file without humiliating the quality of the image to an unacceptable level by Human Visual System. The reduction in file size allows as to store more data in less memory and speed up the transmission process in low bandwidth also, in case of satellite images it reduces the time required for the image to reach the ground station. In order to increase the transmission process compression plays an important role in remote sensing images.  This paper presents a coding scheme for satellite images using Vector Quantization. And it is a well-known technique for signal compression, and it is also the generalization of the scalar quantization.  The given satellite image is compressed using VCDemo software by creating codebooks for vector quantization and the quality of the compressed and decompressed image is compared by the Mean Square Error, Signal to Noise Ratio, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio values.

In current years, improving the Compression Ratio (CR) in medical imaging is essential and becomes big challenge in the field of biomedical. In that direction we have done optimization before biomedical image compression. For the same we have used the image enhancement techniques. For the enhancement of an image we have used Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) and Decorrelation Stretch (DCS) algorithms. By optimizing an image before compression we have achieved better Compression Ratio (CR) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) than existing methods of an image compression. Mainly results are compared with Oscillation Concept method of an image compression with and without optimization.

Abstract Background: Variable selection in linear regression settings is a much discussed problem. Best subset selection (BSS) is often considered as an intuitively appealing ‘gold standard’, with its use being restricted mainly by its N P-hard nature. Instead, alternatives such as the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) or the elastic net (Enet) have become methods of choice in high-dimensional settings. A recent proposal represents BSS as a mixed integer optimization problem so that much larger problems have become feasible in reasonable computation time. This has been exploited to study the prediction performance of BSS and its competitors. Here, we present an extensive simulation study assessing, instead, the variable selection performance of BSS compared to forward stepwise selection (FSS), Lasso and Enet. The analysis considers a wide range of settings that are challenging with regard to dimensionality, signal-to-noise ratio and correlations between relevant and irrelevant direct predictors. As measure of performance we used the best possible F1 score for each method so as to ensure a fair comparison irrespective of any criterion for choosing the tuning parameters.Results: Somewhat surprisingly, it was only in settings where the signal-to-noise ratio was high and the variables were (nearly) uncorrelated that BSS reliably outperformed the other methods. This was the case even in low dimensional settings where the number of observations exceeded the number of variables by a factor of ten. Further, the FSS approach performed nearly identically to BSS. Conclusion: Our results shed a new light on the usual presumption of BSS being, in principle, the best choice for variable selection. More attention needs to be payed to the data generating process when considering variable selection methods. Especially for correlated variables, convex alternatives like Enet are not only faster but also appear to be more accurate in practical settings.

Abstract. An image is classified into dark, normal, and bright image. The images are grouped in the dark images according to the histogram and the mu value. An image consists of information and redundancies. The use of wavelet is considered effective in image compression and it does not only cut down the memory usage but also it makes devices work faster. In this study, an analysis in conducted on the influence of dark, normal, and bright images on the orthogonal wavelet. Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) is used to compare 17 functions of wavelet orthogonal in the image compression of dark, normal, and bright images. PSNR is a measurement parameter commonly used for measuring the quality of image reconstruction which is then compared with the original image. Compression ratio is used to measure the reduction of the data size after the compression process. Based on the research on the dark, normal, and bright image, the findings reveal that bright image has got the lowest PNSR value at all image testing while the normal image has the highest PSNR value at the wavelet orthogonal application. Keywords : Image compression, Orthogonal wavelet, PSNR, compression ratio.Abstrak. Suatu citra dikelompokkan menjadi citra gelap, citra normal, dan citra terang.

The retrieval of high-resolution information from images of biological crystals depends, in part, on the use of the correct photographic emulsion. We have been investigating the information transfer properties of twelve emulsions with a view toward 1) characterizing the emulsions by a few, measurable quantities, and 2) identifying the “best” emulsion of those we have studied for use in any given experimental situation. Because our interests lie in the examination of crystalline specimens, we've chosen to evaluate an emulsion's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as a function of spatial frequency and use this as our critereon for determining the best emulsion.The signal-to-noise ratio in frequency space depends on several factors. First, the signal depends on the speed of the emulsion and its modulation transfer function (MTF). By procedures outlined in, MTF's have been found for all the emulsions tested and can be fit by an analytic expression 1/(1+(S/S0)2). Figure 1 shows the experimental data and fitted curve for an emulsion with a better than average MTF. A single parameter, the spatial frequency at which the transfer falls to 50% (S0), characterizes this curve.

Bright-field images taken with axial illumination show spurious high contrast patterns which obscure details smaller than 15 ° Hollow-cone illumination (HCI), however, reduces this disturbing granulation by statistical superposition and thus improves the signal-to-noise ratio. In this presentation we report on experiments aimed at selecting the proper amount of tilt and defocus for improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio by means of direct observation of the electron images on a TV monitor.Hollow-cone illumination is implemented in our microscope (single field condenser objective, Cs = .5 mm) by an electronic system which rotates the tilted beam about the optic axis. At low rates of revolution (one turn per second or so) a circular motion of the usual granulation in the image of a carbon support film can be observed on the TV monitor. The size of the granular structures and the radius of their orbits depend on both the conical tilt and defocus.
