Real-time lossless compression of microarray images by separate compaction of foreground and background
Abstract
Microarray technology is a powerful tool in molecular biology which is used for concurrent monitoring of a large number of gene expressions. Each microarray experiment produces hundreds of images. In this paper, we present a hardware scheme for lossless compression of 16-bit microarray images. The most significant parts of the image pixels are compressed by classifying them into foreground and background regions. This increases the spatial …
