In recent years, wavelets have attracted great attention in both still image compression and video coding, and several novel wavelet-based image compression algorithms have been developed so far, one of which is Shapiro's embedded zerotree wavelet (EZW) image compression algorithm. However, there are still some deficiencies in this algorithm. In this paper, after the analysis of the deficiency in EZW, a new algorithm based on quantized coefficient partitioning using morphological operation is proposed. Instead of encoding the coefficients in each subband line-by-line, regions in which most of the quantized coefficients are significant are extracted by morphological dilation and encoded first. This is followed by using zerotrees to encode the remaining space which has mostly zeros. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is not only superior to the EZW, but also compares favorably with the most efficient wavelet-based image compression algorithms reported so far.

Region-of-interest (ROI) image coding is one of the new features included in the JPEG2000 image coding standard. Two methods are defined in the standard: the Maxshift method and the generic scaling based method. In this paper, a new region-of-interest coding method called Contour-based Multi-ROI Multi-quality Image Coding (CMM) is proposed. Unlike other existing methods, the CMM method takes the contour and texture of the whole image as a special ROI, which makes the visually most important parts (in both ROI and Background) to be coded first. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the previous ROI coding schemes in the overall ROI coding performance.

 Uncompressed form of the digital images are needed a very large storage capacity amount, as a consequence requires large communication bandwidth for data transmission over the network. Image compression techniques not only minimize the image storage space but also preserve the quality of image. This paper reveal image compression technique which uses distinct image coding scheme based on wavelet transform that combined effective types of compression algorithms for further compression. EZW and SPIHT algorithms are types of significant compression techniques that obtainable for lossy image compression algorithms. The EZW coding is a worthwhile and simple efficient algorithm. SPIHT is an most powerful technique that utilize for image compression depend on the concept of coding set of wavelet coefficients as zero trees. The proposed compression algorithm that combined dual image compression techniques (DICT) invest an excellent features from each methods, which then produce promising technique for still image compression through minimize bits number that required to represent the input image, to the degree allowed without significant impact on quality of reconstructed image. The experimental results present that DICT will improve the image compression efficiency between 8 to 24%, and will result high performance of metrics values.

<p>Present emerging trend in space science applications is to explore and utilize the deep space. Image coding in deep space communications play vital role in deep space missions. Lossless image compression has been recommended for space science exploration missions to retain the quality of image. On-board memory and bandwidth requirement is reduced by image compression. Programmable logic like field programmable gate array (FPGA) offers an attractive solution for performance and flexibility required by real time image compression algorithms. The powerful feature of FPGA is parallel processing which allows the data to process quicker than microprocessor implementation. This paper elaborates on implementing low complexity lossless image compression algorithm coder on FPGA with minimum utilization of onboard resources for deep space applications.</p>

There exists very high correlation between left-view images and right-view images of stereo image pairs. The correlation can help to reduce the stereoscopic image coding bit rate. Proposed methods first estimate the disparity by using causal neighborhood pixels. And then a prediction method which combines inter-view prediction with intra-view prediction is used to obtain a better predictive coding method for target-view images. The reference-view images are then encoded by using those commonly used prediction coding method. The experimental results show that compared with those methods using only intra-view correlation, the proposed method can obtain lower code rate.

Due to the huge amount of image data transmission conditions and the existing relative low, makes the image compression become inevitable, key technology of image compression for image data transform to transform the quantitative data, as well as to the quantitative data, after the entropy coding.And this article USES the 2 d Mallat of wavelet image compression algorithm is a kind of common image compression method of wavelet image compression algorithm is the core.


Modern radiology techniques provide crucial medical information for radiologists to diagnose diseases and determine appropriate treatments. Hence dealing with medical image compression needs to compromise on good perceptual quality (i.e. diagnostically lossless) and high compression rate. The objective also includes finding out an optimum algorithm for medical image compression algorithm. The objective is also focused towards the selection of the developed image compression algorithm, which do not change the characterization behavior of the image.
