This document compares the performance of discrete cosine transform (DCT) and wavelet transform for gray scale image compression. It analyzes seven types of images compressed using these two techniques and measured performance using peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). The results show that wavelet transform outperforms DCT at low bit rates due to its better energy compaction. However, DCT performs better than wavelets at high bit rates near 1bpp and above. So wavelets provide better compression performance when higher compression is required.
REVERSIBLE WAVELET AND SPECTRAL TRANSFORMS FOR LOSSLESS COMPRESSION OF COLOR ...cscpconf

Recent years have seen tremendous increase in the generation, transmission, and storage of
color images. A new lossless image compression method for progressive-resolution
transmission of color images is carried out in this paper based on spatial and spectral
transforms. Reversible wavelet transforms are performed across red, green, and blue color sub
bands first. Then adaptive spectral transforms like inter band prediction method is applied on
associated color sub bands for image compression. The combination of inverse spectral
transform (ST-1) and inverse reversible wavelet transforms (RWT-1) finally reconstructs the
original RGB color channels exactly. Simulation of the implemented method is carried out using

Abstract Everyday millions of data need to transmit through a distinct channel for various purposes; as a result there is a certain chance of third person interruption on that data. In this regards digital watermarking is one of the best solution. This paper proposes a new embedding algorithm (NEA) of digital watermarking. The algorithm is performed for digital image as data. The performance is compared for NEA and well established Cox's modified embedding algorithm. The watermarking is based on discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) and discrete cosine transforms (DCT). The acceptance of the new algorithm is measured by the two requirements of digital watermarking. One is imperceptibility of the watermarked image, measured by peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) in dB; another one is robustness of the mark image, measured by correlation of original mark image and recovering mark image. Here a 512Ă512 gray scale "Lena" and "Cameraman's" image is taken as host images, and a 128Ă128 gray scale image is taken as mark image for 2 level of DWT. The simulation results for different attacking conditions such as salt and pepper attack, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) attack, jpg compression attack, gamma attack, histogram attack, cropping attack, sharpening attack etc. After different attacks the changing tendency PSNR for both algorithms are similar. But the mean square error (MSE) value of NEA is always less than Coxâs modified algorithm, which means that after embedding the changes of the host image property lower for NEA than Coxâs algorithm. From the simulation results it can be said that NEA will be a substitute of modified Coxâs algorithm with better performance.

Abstract Robust reversible watermarking (RRW) methods are popular in multimedia for protecting copyright, while preserving intactness of host images and providing robustness against unintentional attacks. Robust reversible watermarking (RRW) is used to protect the copyrights and providing robustness against unintentional attacks. The past histogram rotation-based methods suffer from extremely poor invisibility for watermarked images and limited robustness in extracting watermarks from the watermarked images destroyed by unintentional attacks. This paper proposes a wavelet-domain statistical quantity histogram shifting and clustering (WSQH-SC) method and Enhanced pixel-wise masking (EPWM). This method embeds a new watermark image and extraction procedures by histogram shifting and clustering, which are important for improving robustness and reducing run-time complexity. It is possible reversibility and invisibility. By using WSQH-SC methods reversibility, invisibility of watermarks can be achieved. The experimental results show the comprehensive performance in terms of reversibility, robustness, invisibility, capacity and run-time complexity widely applicable to different kinds of images.

This research paper presents a proposed method for the compression of medical images using hybrid compression technique (DWT, DCT and Huffman coding). The objective of this hybrid scheme is to achieve higher compression rates by first applying DWT and DCT on individual components RGB. After applying this image is quantized to calculate probability index for each unique quantity so as to find out the unique binary code for each unique symbol for their encoding. Finally the Huffman compression is applied. Results show that the coding performance can be significantly improved by the hybrid DWT, DCT and Huffman coding algorithm

ROI Based Image Compression in Baseline JPEGIJERA Editor
Â
To improve the efficiency of standard JPEG compression algorithm an adaptive quantization technique based on the support for region of interest of compression is introduced. Since this is a lossy compression technique the less important bits are discarded and are not restored back during decompression. Adaptive quantization is carried out by applying two different quantization to the picture provided by the user. The user can select any part of the image and enter the required quality for compression. If according to the user the subject is more important than the background then more quality is provided to the subject than the background and vice- versa. Adaptive quantization in baseline sequential JPEG is carried out by applying Forward Discrete Cosine Transform (FDCT), two different quantization provided by the user for compression, thereby achieving region of interest compression and Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (IDCT) for decompression. This technique makes sure that the memory is used efficiently. Moreover we have specifically designed this for identifying defects in the leather samples clearly.
Wavelet based Image Coding Schemes: A Recent Survey ijsc

A variety of new and powerful algorithms have been developed for image compression over the years. Among them the wavelet-based image compression schemes have gained much popularity due to their overlapping nature which reduces the blocking artifacts that are common phenomena in JPEG compression and multiresolution character which leads to superior energy compaction with high quality reconstructed images. This paper provides a detailed survey on some of the popular wavelet coding techniques such as the Embedded Zerotree Wavelet (EZW) coding, Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) coding, the Set Partitioned Embedded Block (SPECK) Coder, and the Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation (EBCOT) algorithm. Other wavelet-based coding techniques like the Wavelet Difference Reduction (WDR) and the Adaptive Scanned Wavelet Difference Reduction (ASWDR) algorithms, the Space Frequency Quantization (SFQ) algorithm, the Embedded Predictive Wavelet Image Coder (EPWIC), Compression with Reversible Embedded Wavelet (CREW), the Stack-Run (SR) coding and the recent Geometric Wavelet (GW) coding are also discussed. Based on the review, recommendations and discussions are presented for algorithm development and implementation.

4. JPEG 2000 WITH EZW CODING
The JPEG committee has released its
new image coding standard, JPEG 2000, which
will serve as a supplement for the original JPEG
Q=10, PSNR=27.81 Q=30, PSNR=31.91 standard introduced in 1992. Rather than
incrementally improving on the original standard,
JPEG 2000 implements an entirely new way of
compressing images based on the wavelet transform,
in contrast to the discrete cosine transform (DCT)
used in the original JPEG standard.
The state of wavelet-based coding has
improved significantly since the introduction of the
original JPEG standard. A notable breakthrough was
Q=50, PSNR=33.87 the introduction of embedded zero-tree wavelet
The table 1 given below shows the average (EZW) coding by Shapiro [7]. The EZW algorithm

Q50 level have the lower compression but higher algorithm have resulted in modern wavelet coders

transform coders. As a result, wavelet-based coding
has been adopted as the underlying method to
implement the JPEG 2000 standard [8].
4.1 EZW Coding Algorithm
The EZW coding algorithm can now be summarized
as follows.
1) Initialization: Place all wavelet coefficients
on the dominant list. Set the initial
threshold to T0=2floor( log2 xmax).

zero-tree root is not coded, since the decoder Remove x from the Dominant List
can deduce that it has a zero value. Coefficients
found to be significant are moved to the subordinate Subordinate Pass
list and their values in the original wavelet map are for each entry symbol(x) in Subordinate List

4) Loop: Reduce the current threshold by two, K = K+1

achieved.
The pseudocode for the embedded zerotree coding
is shown in the table 2 given below:
The compression ratio and quality of the
image depends on the quantization level, entropy
coding and also on the wavelet filters used[9]. In this
section, different types of wavelets are considered
for image compression. Here the major
concentration is to verify the comparison between
Hand designed wavelets. Hand designed wavelets
considered in this work are Haar wavelet, Daubechie
wavelet, Biorthognal wavelet, Demeyer wavelet,
Coiflet wavelet and Symlet wavelet. Except Coiflet
and Symlet wavelet, all the Hand designed wavelets
produced less PSNR around 28dB and compression
ratio around 1bpp. Coiflet and Symlet wavelet
produced high PSNR around 29 dB, at same
compression ratio. The Cameraman images
experimental results are shown in figure3 to 8. A

help in providing better compression for the same
Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).A comparative
study of DCT and wavelet based image coding can
be found in [11]. This section describes the
comparison between DCT and Wavelets. Testing is
performed on seven types of images at a bit rate of
0.25 bpp and 1.00 bpp. The results are shown in the
