About this blog

I feel this blog as a reflection of my thoughts to myself , and sometimes as a public diary, and the is my only friend to share my thoughts who says never a "oh no! ,you shouldn't....That is boring...."

why tif/tiff format is preferred than jpeg/jpg for image processing research

tiff by default does not compress the data so absolutely no loss of intensity information per each pixel in the image. But jpeg uses lossy compression techniques causing the data to lose some amount of magnitudes per each pixel.

Especially for clinical MRI/CT data the radiologists never use lossy compression algorithms.

P.S: I practically realised this when i tried to create a mask to implement my own algorithms. when i stored the mask in jpeg form the mask was blurred where as the tiff standard didn't corrupt the intensities in the mask file.
