Abstract

In today’s multimedia wireless communication, major issue is bandwidth needed to satisfy real time transmission of image data. Compression is one of the good solutions to address this issue. Transform based compression algorithms are widely used in the field of compression, because of their de-correlation and other properties, useful in compression. In this paper, comparative study of compression methods is done based on their types. This paper addresses the issue of importance of transform in image compression and selecting particular transform for image compression. A comparative study of performance of a variety of different image transforms is done base on compression ratio, entropy and time factor.
