Coding of DWT Coefficients using Run-length Coding and Huffman Coding for the Purpose of Color Image Compression

In present paper we proposed a simple and effective method to compress an image. Here we found success in size reduction of an image without much compromising with it’s quality. Here we used Haar Wavelet Transform to transform our original image and after quantization and thresholding of DWT coefficients Run length coding and Huffman coding schemes have been used to encode the image. DWT is base for quite populate JPEG 2000 technique. Keywords—lossy compression, DWT, quantization, Run length coding, Huffman coding, JPEG2000
