Abstract

Image compression plays a vital role in multimedia storage and transmission applications. In our work two different approaches of edge preserving lossy image compression are incorporated with the aim of increasing compression ratio and picture quality. An edge image is obtained from the original image using, various edge detectors. The original image is domain transformed using wavelets and preprocessing is being carried out to compress the image. Then the compressed image is reconstructed and the valuable parameter such as Compression Factor and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio are calculated. The performance table is provided in comparison of the two different proposed methods with the existing method of edge preserving image compression for four different standard images and it has been found that proposed method outperforms the existing method in terms of compression ratio and PSNR.
