“…In the WCE application, many compression algorithms have been proposed. Generally, they can be classified into two categories, i.e., lossless/near-lossless compression methods [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], and lossy compression methods [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. In the early research on the compression for this medical application, to assure the quality of medical images, the former methods were generally adopted.…”
