Wavelet Based Image Coding Schemes : A Recent Survey <s> Transformation <s> A scheme for image compression that takes into account psychovisual features both in the space and frequency domains is proposed. This method involves two steps. First, a wavelet transform used in order to obtain a set of biorthogonal subclasses of images: the original image is decomposed at different scales using a pyramidal algorithm architecture. The decomposition is along the vertical and horizontal directions and maintains constant the number of pixels required to describe the image. Second, according to Shannon's rate distortion theory, the wavelet coefficients are vector quantized using a multiresolution codebook. To encode the wavelet coefficients, a noise shaping bit allocation procedure which assumes that details at high resolution are less visible to the human eye is proposed. In order to allow the receiver to recognize a picture as quickly as possible at minimum cost, a progressive transmission scheme is presented. It is shown that the wavelet transform is particularly well adapted to progressive transmission. > <s> BIB001 </s> Wavelet Based Image Coding Schemes : A Recent Survey <s> Transformation <s> Preface 1 Introduction 1.1 Compression Techniques 1.1.1 Lossless Compression 1.1.2 Lossy Compression 1.1.3 Measures of Performance 1.2 Modeling and Coding 1.3 Organization of This Book 1.4 Summary 1.5 Projects and Problems 2 Mathematical Preliminaries 2.1 Overview 2.2 A Brief Introduction to Information Theory 2.3 Models 2.3.1 Physical Models 2.3.2 Probability Models 2.3.3.

In image compression, transform is indented to de-correlate the input pixels. Selection of proper transform is one of the important issues in image compression schemes. The transform should be selected in such a way that it reduces the size of the resultant data set as compared to the source data set. Few transformations reduce the numerical size of the data items that allow them to represent by fewer binary bits. The technical name given to these methods of transformation is mapping BIB001 . Some mathematical transformations have been invented for the sole purpose of data compression; others have been borrowed from various applications and applied to data compression. These include the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) BIB002 , Walsh-Hadamard Transform (WHT), Hadamard-Haar Transform (HHT), KarhuneLoeve Transforms (KLT), Slant-Haar Transform (SHT), Short Fourier Transforms (SFT), and Wavelet Transforms (WT) BIB001 . Transform selection process still remains an active field of research. Transformation Quantization Encoding
