LOSSLESS METHOD OF IMAGE COMPRESSION USING HUFFMAN CODING TECHNIQUES

Usage of Image has been increasing and used in many applications. The need for an efficient technique for compression of images ever increasing because the raw images need large amounts of disk space seems to be a big disadvantage during storage & transmission. Image compression plays on important role in saving storage space and saving time while sending images over the network without excessively reducing the quality of the picture. There are many compression techniques, which are presented for better use of storage devices. A compression technique explained to achieve more compression ratio by reducing the number of source symbols. In this paper, Lossless method of image compression using a simple coding technique called Huffman’s coding is explained.
