A REVIEW ON IMAGE COMPRESSION TECHNIQUES

The availability of images in many applications are augmented owing to the technological advancement which cannot impacts on several image operation, on availability of sophisticated software tools that influence the image and on image management. Although the technological advances in storage and transmission, the demand placed on the storage capacities and on bandwidth of communication exceeds the availability. Hence, image compression has proved to be a valuable method as one solution. This paper attempts to give a recipe for selecting one of the popular image compression algorithms based on Wavelet, DCT, VQ, and Fractal approaches.
