Image compression using EZW algorithm

Abstract:
Image compression can improve the performance of the digital systems by reducing
time and cost in image storage and transmission without significant reduction of
the image quality. For image compression it is desirable that the selection of
transform should reduce the size of resultant data set as compared to source data
set. EZW is computationally very fast and among the best image compression
algorithm known today. We proposes a technique for image compression which uses the
Wavelet-based Image Coding in combination with Huffman encoder with a Lempel-Ziv-
Welch (LZW) for further compression.A large number of experimental results are
shown that this method saves a lot of bits in transmission, further enhances the
compression performance. EZW has proven to be a very effective image compression
method based on the mean-square error(MSE) distortion measure.
