Working Experience

Image Compression using MATLAB language [Programs in MATLAB language]
Jun 16, 2004 - Present

I made alot of program since 2004
1- in 2004 i built assembly compiler used Visual Basic 5.0 , for our students to learn how the assembly language works.
2- in 2010 i built my first image compression program using MATLAB language.
3- 2018 i bult complete program advanced JPEG program used MATLAB language.

Medical imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of health conditions, but the growing use of telemedicine increases the demand for efficient storage and transmission. This study proposes a novel medical image compression method that preserves image information while achieving high compression efficiency. The technique combines bicubic interpolation, matrix reduction, and arithmetic coding to reduce image size significantly. The proposed algorithm was evaluated using various medical images such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and MRI. Results show that the method achieves high image quality with PSNR and SSIM metrics even at a compression ratio of up to 100:1 (99%).
