BASICA uses a fast Mann-Whitney test-based algorithm to segment cDNA microarray images and performs postprocessing to eliminate the segmentation irregularities. The segmentation results along with the foreground and background intensities obtained with the background adjustment are then used for independent compression of the foreground and background. We introduce a new distortion measurement for cDNA microarray image compression and devise a coding scheme by modifying the embedded block coding with optimized truncation EBCOT algorithm Taubman 2000 to achieve optimal rate-distortion performance in lossy coding while still maintaining outstanding lossless compression performance. Experimental results show that the bit rate required to ensure sufficiently accurate gene expression measurement varies and depends on the quality of cDNA microarray images. For homogeneously hybridized cDNA microarray images BASICA is able
