Implementation of Image Compression on Virtual Instrumentation Based Platform Using LabVIEW

In this digital era, the images are being stored or transmitted through the communication channel more often. The storage capacity and the bandwidth available for transmission are limited. To utilize storage capacity and the bandwidth effectively, it is necessary to convert the original image in an efficient compressed form. The objective of image compression is to reduce redundancy of the image data in order to store or transmit data in an efficient manner. In this research work, the image compression is done by implementing DCT algorithm on Virtual Instrumentation based platform using LabVIEW.
