Image Compression Using DCT and Wavelet Transformations

Image compression is a widely addressed researched area. Many compression standards are in place. But still here there is a scope for high compression with quality reconstruction. The JPEG standard makes use of Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for compression. The introduction of the wavelets gave a different dimensions to the compression. This paper aims at the analysis of compression using DCT and Wavelet transform by selecting proper threshold method, better result for PSNR have been obtained. Extensive experimentation has been carried out to arrive at the conclusion.
