An Improved Image Compression-Decompression Technique Using Block Truncation and Wavelets

By Kuldeep Mander Himanshu. Jindal

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijigsp.2017.08.03, Pub. Date: 8 Aug. 2017

In the modern world, digital images play a vital role in a number of applications such as medical field, aerospace and satellite imaging, underwater imaging, etc. These applications use and produce a large number of digital images. Also, these images need to be stored and transmitted for various purposes. Thus, to overcome this problem of storage while transmitting these images, a process is used, namely, compression. The paper focuses on a compression technique known as Block Truncation Coding (BTC) as it helps in reducing the size of the image so that it takes less space in memory and easy to transmit. Thus, BTC is used to compress grayscale images. After compression, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) with spline interpolation is applied to reconstruct the images. The process is suggested in order to view the changed pixels of images after compression of two images. The wavelets and interpolations provide enhanced compressed images that follow the steps for its encoding and decoding processes. The performance of the proposed method is measured by calculating the PSNR values and on comparing the proposed technique with the existing ones, it has been discovered that the proposed method outperforms the most common existing techniques and provides 49% better results in comparison with existing techniques.

Image provides complete detailed information for thing or object. It is considered as an important aspect of analyzing the details of various objects or environments of real life applications. From analyzing or studying images, various techniques come into existence. These include zooming, watermarking, hazing, and compression. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages with respect to various implicit functions defined for the techniques. The research paper focuses on watermarking techniques. The techniques of watermarking have their advantages and outperforms better when combined with wavelets transformations (DWT) followed by interpolations. The wavelets and interpolations provide a good quality enhanced and zoomed watermarked images at the time of its encoding and decoding processes. The images are embedded with sample images considered as hidden information. After the extraction process image interpolation method is applied to the image to get a quality image. The process is suggested in order to view the changed pixels of images after encoding of two images. The combination of DWT watermarking and interpolation provides 52% better results when compared to existing techniques.

Novelty in Image Reconstruction using DWT and CLAHE

By Archie Mittal Himanshu. Jindal

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijigsp.2017.05.04, Pub. Date: 8 May 2017

In the digital world, image quality is of widespread importance in several areas of image application such as medical field, aerospace and satellite imaging, underwater imaging, etc. This requires the image obtained to be sharp and clear without any artifacts. Moreover, on zooming, the image should not lose any of its information. Thus, focusing on these points, Discrete Wavelet Transform has been practiced in combination with different interpolation methodologies to provide reconstruction of images via zooming and their PSNR values have been obtained. The research gave rise to a novel image zooming and reconstruction technique that improves the image quality of the enhanced images. This paper presents a proposed algorithm that is adopted to enhance a given original input image in the domain of wavelets and results have been proved with the help of PSNR values. The proposed algorithm is used further for contrast equalized images providing improvement in PSNR values and enhancement in images. The method is compared with existing papers. This verifies that the proposed technique is a better approach to provide good quality zoomed images.
