Abstract
This chapter focus mainly on different wavelet transform algorithms as Burt's Pyramid, Mallat's Pyramidal Algorithm, Feauveau's non dyadic structure and its application in Image compression. This chapter focus on mathematical concepts involved in wavelet transform like convolution, scaling function, wavelet function, Multiresolution analysis, inner product etc., and how these mathematical concepts are liked to image transform application. This chapter gives an idea towards wavelets and wavelet transforms. Image compression based on wavelet transform consists of transform, quantization and encoding. Basic focus is not only on transform step, selection of particular wavelet, wavelets involved in new standard of image compression but also on quantization and encoding, Huffman code, run length code. Difference in between JPEG and JPEG2000, Quantization and sampling, wavelet function and wavelet transform are also given. This chapter is also giving some basic idea of MATLAB to assist readers in understanding MATLAB Programming in terms of image processing.
