The Need for Medically Aware Video Compression in Gastroenterology. (arXiv:2211.01472v1 [eess.IV])

Compression is essential to storing and transmitting medical videos, but the
effect of compression on downstream medical tasks is often ignored.
Furthermore, systems in practice rely on standard video codecs, which naively
allocate bits between medically relevant frames or parts of frames. In this
work, we present an empirical study of some deficiencies of classical codecs on
gastroenterology videos, and motivate our ongoing work to train a learned
compression model for colonoscopy videos. We show that two of the most …
