Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, a Hybrid Wavelet Packet and Directional transform (HW&DT) method is proposed to compress an image effectively. The image is pixel de-correlated using Daubechies Wavelet Packet transform and set of wavelet packet coefficients are transformed using Directional transform. The Directional transform pairs DCT-II, DCT-V, DCT-VIII and DST-VII are useful in retrieving the texture information in different directions. Then the coefficients of the hybrid transform are uniformly quantized and entropy coded using Huffman coding, generating the Bit-Stream. The performance evaluation of the proposed work is done using the compression parameters like Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), Bit-Saving (%), Peak Signal to Noise ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE). The experimental results confirm the improvement in Bit-Saving for the image.KeywordsDiscrete cosine transform (DCT)Wavelet packet transform (WPT)Uniform quantizationHuffman coding
