Coefficient-Shuffled Variable Block Compressed Sensing for Medical Image Compression in Telemedicine Systems by R Monika, Samiappan Dhanalakshmi, Narayanamoorthi Rajamanickam, Amr Yousef, Roobaea Alroobaea

“…This challenge can be surmounted by adopting a variable BCS approach that selectively samples from diverse regions within an image. In this context, this paper introduces a novel CS method that uses an energy matrix, namely coefficient shuffling variable BCS (CSEM-VBCS), tailored for compressing a variety of medical images with balanced sparsity, thereby achieving a substantial compression ratio and good reconstruction quality. …”
