In numerical analysis and functional analysis, a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is any wavelet transform for which the wavelets are discretely sampled. As with other wavelet transformations, a key advantage over Fourier transforms is the temporal resolution: it captures both frequency and location information (time location).
Image compression is a method through which we can reduce image storage space, which will help increase the throughput of the storage and transmission process. This article presents the comparison of the performance of discrete wavelets such as Haar Wavelet and Daubechies Wavelet for implementation in a fixed image compression system. The results of these transformations are compared in terms of mean square error (MSE) and retained energy (ER), etc. The main objective is to investigate the compression of still images of a grayscale image using wavelet theory. This is implemented in software that uses MATLAB Wavelet Toolbox and 2D-DWT technique. Experiments and results are performed in .jpg format images. These results provide a good reference for application developers to choose a good wavelet compression system for their application.
Compression is one of the main techniques of image processing. It is one of the most useful and commercially successful technologies in the field of digital image processing. Image compression is the representation of an image in digital form with the fewest number of bits, maintaining an acceptable level of image quality. More and more images are acquired and stored digitally or several film scanners are used to convert traditional raw images into digital format. Data $ compression is the technique to reduce redundancies in data representation in order to reduce data storage requirements and therefore communication costs. Reducing the storage requirement is equivalent to increasing the capacity of the storage medium to increase the transmission speed and therefore the communication bandwidth. Efficient ways to store large amounts of data and due to limitations of bandwidth and storage, images must be compressed before transmission and storage. At some later time, the compressed image is decompressed to reconstruct the original image or approximate it.
