 ABSTRACT

The "Compression of Color Images" project is designed to tackle the challenges associated with
the storage and transmission of large color image files in computer graphics. By developing a
sophisticated algorithm that combines various techniques from existing lossless and lossy
compression methods, the project aims to significantly reduce image file sizes while
maintaining high visual quality. This involves extensive research into methods like Run-Length
Encoding, Huffman Coding, Discrete Cosine Transform, and Wavelet Transform. The custom
algorithm will be implemented using programming languages such as Python or C++, and a
user-friendly graphical interface will be developed to facilitate ease of use. The effectiveness of
the new algorithm will be rigorously tested against industry standards like JPEG and PNG,
utilizing metrics such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index
(SSIM) for evaluation. The ultimate goal is to provide a practical solution that can reduce
storage costs, enhance the speed of image transmission in web and mobile applications, and
improve performance in computer graphics by offering a tool that delivers high compression
ratios with minimal quality loss. This project promises significant contributions to digital
media, photography, and online content delivery, making efficient color image compression
accessible to a wide range of users.

Objectives

 Investigate existing image compression algorithms, both lossless and lossy.

 Develop a custom compression algorithm that strikes a balance between compression
ratio and image quality.
 Compare the custom algorithm's performance with established standards like JPEG and
PNG.
 Implement the algorithm in a user-friendly application for practical deployment.

Applications

 Reduction of storage requirements for digital image collections.

 Improved efficiency in image transmission for web applications and mobile devices.
 Enhanced performance in computer graphics applications where large images are
prevalent.
