Low-cost color space based image compression algorithm for capsule endoscopy

An efficient compression algorithm for the capsule endoscopy is described in this paper. This paper consists of a simplified YUV color space, which is developed by taking endoscopy images unique properties into consideration. This is built on RGB-sYUV color conversion, differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) and Golomb-Rice encoder. This DPCM doesn't need any extra buffer memory to store one row of images and Golomb-Rice (G-R) code is simple and easily hardware implemented. This algorithm is lossless and give a compression ratio (CR) of 68.1%. It gives better results than the standard lossless algorithm regarding complexity and compression ratio in capsule endoscopy applications.
