| description | With the fast development of modern microscopes and bioimaging techniques, an unprecedentedly large amount of imaging data is being generated, stored, analyzed, and shared through networks. The size of the data poses great challenges for current data infrastructure. One common way to reduce the data size is by image compression. This study analyzes multiple classic and deep-learning-based image compression methods, as well as an empirical study on their impact on downstream deep-learning-based image processing models. We used deep-learning-based label-free prediction models (i.e., predicting fluorescent images from bright-field images) as an example downstream task for the comparison and analysis of the impact of image compression. Different compression techniques are compared in compression ratio, image similarity, and, most importantly, the prediction accuracy of label-free models on original and compressed images. We found that artificial intelligence (AI)-based compression techniques largely outperform the classic ones with minimal influence on the downstream 2D label-free tasks. In the end, we hope this study could shed light on the potential of deep-learning-based image compression and raise the awareness of the potential impacts of image compression on downstream deep-learning models for analysis. |
