An Efficient Compound Image Compression Using Optimal Discrete Wavelet Transform and Run Length Encoding Techniques

Reduction in file size leads to reduction in the number of bits required to store it. When data is compressed, it must be decompressed into its original form bit for bit. Compound images are defined as images that contain a combination of text, natural (photo) images and graphic images. Here, compression is the process of reducing the amount of data required to represent information. Image compression is done on the basis of various loss and lossless compression algorithms. This research work deals with the preprocessing and transformations used to compress a compound image to produce a high compression ratio (CR), less compression time and so on. In the compression process the images are considered for preprocessing and discrete wavelet transform with adaptive particle swarm optimization process. The purpose of this optimization technique is to optimize the wavelet coefficient in Harr wavelet for improving the CR value. In the image compression process, run length coding is used to compress the compound images. Based on this technique, it produces minimum CR and less computation time of compound images.

Sparse Decomposition Technique for Segmentation and Compression of Compound Images

Compression of compound records and images can be more cumbersome than the original information since they can be a mix of text, picture and graphics. The principle requirement of the compound record or images is the nature of the compressed data. In this paper, diverse procedures are used under block-based classification to distinguish the compound image segments. The segmentation process starts with separation of the entire image into blocks by spare decomposition technique in smooth blocks and non smooth blocks. Gray wolf-optimization based FCM (fuzzy C-means) algorithm is employed to segment background, text, graphics, images and overlap, which are then individually compressed using adaptive Huffman coding, embedded zero wavelet and H.264 coding techniques. Exploratory outcomes demonstrate that the proposed conspire expands compression ratio, enhances image quality and additionally limits computational complexity. The proposed method is implemented on the working platform of MATLAB.
