    Abstract: Techniques and configurations for compression of image data in a progressive, lossless manner are disclosed. In an example, three-dimensional medical images may be compressed and decompressed with high-speed operations, through a compression technique performed on a cube (chunk) of voxels that includes generating a subsampled or filtered cube of voxels, and generating and optimizing a delta data set between the cube of voxels and the subsampled cube of voxels. This optimized delta data set is operable with a decompression technique to losslessly recreate the cube of voxels. Further, the compression technique may be progressively performed with multiple iterations, to allow multiple lower resolution versions of the images prior to loading or receiving the entire compressed data that is reconstructable in a lossless form. Use of this technique may result in dramatically reduced time to first image when visualizing 3D images and performing image data transfers.

    Abstract: Several methods and systems for reducing blocking artifacts are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving a pair of adjacent blocks having an edge being positioned between the adjacent blocks. The pair of adjacent blocks is associated with one or more coding blocks. The one or more coding blocks comprise one or more coding information associated with the coding of the pair of adjacent blocks. The method also includes conducting a determination of whether the pair of adjacent blocks is coded in a skip-mode based on the one or more coding information. The edge is filtered based on the determination. Filtering the edge comprises disabling a de-blocking filtering of the edge based on a determination that the pair of adjacent blocks is coded in the skip-mode; and enabling the de-blocking filtering of the edge based on determination that the pair of adjacent blocks is not associated with the skip-mode.
