Abstract
In this chapter we are going to discuss the problem of image encoding and compression. We will present the classical methods for image compression based on transformation to the frequency domain (i.e. Discrete Cosine Transform) and exploiting multiresolution decomposition (i.e., the Wavelet Transform). These methods are employed respectively on the JPEG compression and JPEG 2000 compression standards.
