A wavelet-based image compression system allowing both lossless and lossy image compression is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm consists of the two stages. The first stage uses the wavelet packet transform and the quad-tree coding scheme for the lossy compression. In the second stage, the residue image taken between the original image and the lossy reconstruction image is coded for the lossless image compression by using the integer wavelet transform and the context based predictive technique with feedback error. The proposed wavelet-based algorithm, allowing an optional lossless reconstruction of a given image, transmits progressively image materials and chooses an appropriate wavelet filter in each stage. The lossy compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 1 dB PSNR performance of the high frequency image, compared to that of JPEG-2000 algorithm and that of S+P algorithm. In addition, the lossless compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 0.39 compression rates of the high frequency image, compared to that of the existing algorithm.

This paper introduces a compression technique for power qualify disturbance signal via discrete wavelet transform(DWT). The proposed approach is based on a previous estimation of the stationary component of power quality disturbance signal, so that it could be subtracted from the original signal in order to reduce a dynamic range of signal and generate transient events signal, which is subsequently applied to the compression technique. The compression techniques is performed through the difference signal decomposition, thresholding of wavelet coefficients, and signal reconstruction. It presents the relation between compression efficiency and threshold. It shouts that the wavelet transform leads to a power quality data compression approach with high compression efficiency, small compression error and good de-nosing effect.

In this paper, we propose a low bit-rate embedded video compression scheme with 3-D block partition coding in the wavelet domain. The proposed video compression scheme includes multi-level 3-dimensional dyadic wavelet decomposition, raster scanning within each subband, formation of block, 3-D partitioning of block, and adaptive arithmetic entropy coding. Although the proposed video compression scheme is quit simple, it produces bit-stream with good features, including SNR scalability from the embedded nature. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed video compression scheme is quit competitive to other good wavelet-based video coders in the literature.

Wavelet transformation in image compression is to offer higher image compressibility and high-quality by quantization and entropy encoding. More image quality is good that reconstructed image by wavelet calculation than acquire cosine transform. Therefore, wavelet itself is function if it is wavelet's feature, in this function, do processing applying difference scale and resolution. That is, this is not that fixed resolution has been decided like existent compression way, when it regulated scale, damage goes in pixel and picture looks like break without giving damage entirely in reflex even if magnify or curtail Decoding. Therefore, this paper is in Image that using new wavelet application compression way research that see applies comparing In each image noted this time compressing step by step with circle image compression efficiency recognize. Also, estimated quality pass through by printing of compressed image, investigated compression ratio of most suitable that get print of high quality and elevation of transmission speed.

A wavelet based ECG data compression has become an attractive and efficient method in many mobile tele-cardiology applications. But large data size required for high compression performance leads a serious delay. In this paper, new wavelet compression method with minimum delay is proposed. It is based on deciding the type and compression ratio(CR) of block organically according to the standard deviation of input ECG data with minimum block size. Compression performances of the proposed algorithm for different MIT ECG Records were analyzed comparing other ECG compression algorithm. In addition to the processing delay measurement, compression efficiency and reconstruction sensitivity to error were also evaluated via random noise simulation models. The results show that the proposed algorithm has both lower PRD than other algorithm on same CR and minimum time in the data acquisition, processing and transmission.

Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWTs) are recent mathematics, and begin to be used in various fields. The wavelet transform can be used to compress the signal and image due to its inherent properties. We applied the wavelet transform compression and reconstruction to the neutron cross section data. Numerical tests illustrate that tile signal compression using wavelet is very effective to reduce the data saving spaces.

Medical image compression using the wavelet transform has been tried. Due to the flexibility in representing nonstationary image signal in both time and frequency domains and its ability to adapt human visual characteristics, wavelet transform has unique advantage in images compression. In the proposed wavelet compression original image is decomposed into multi-scale bands. Different scale factors are employed in the quantization of wavelet decomposed images in different bands. For the lowest band, a predictor is designed and error signal is entropy coded. For high scale bands, runlength coding for toro run is used with Huffman coding. From simulation with magnetic resonance images($256\times256$ size, 256 graylevels) the proposed algorithm is superior to the JPEG by more than 2.5 dB in near lossless compression (CR = 8 - 10).

The mobile tole-cardiology system is the new research area that support an ubiquitous health care based on mobile telecommunication networks. Although there are many researches presenting the modeling concepts of a GSM-based mobile telemedical system, practical application needs to be considered both compression performance and error corruption in the mobile environment. This paper evaluates three wavelet ECG compression algorithms over CDMA networks. The three selected methods are Rajoub using EPE thresholding, Embedded Zerotree Wavelet(EZW) and Wavelet transform Higher Order Statistics Coding(WHOSC) with linear prediction. All methodologies protected more significant information using Forward Error Correction coding and measured not only compression performance in noise-free but also error robustness and delay profile in CDMA environment. In addition, from the field test we analyzed the PRD for movement speed and the features of CDMA 1X. The test results show that Rajoub has low robustness over high error attack and EZW contributes to more efficient exploitation in variable bandwidth and high error. WHOSC has high robustness in overall BER but loses performance about particular abnormal ECG.

ECG data are used for the diagnostic purposes with many clinical situations, especially heart disease. In this paper, an efficient ECG data compression technique by wavelet transform and high-speed vector quantization on PMS-B algorithm is proposed. In general, ECG data compression techniques are divided into two categories: direct and transform methods. The direct data compression techniques are AZTEC, TP, CORTES, FAN and SAPA algorithms, besides the transform methods include K-L, Fourier, Walsh, and wavelet transforms. In this paper, we applied wavelet analysis to the ECG data. In particular, vector quantization on PMS-B algorithm to the wavelet coefficients in the higher frequency regions, but scalar quantized in the lower frequency regions by PCM. Finally, the quantized indices were compressed by LZW lossless entropy encoder. As the result of simulation, it turns out to get sufficient compression ratio while keeping clinically acceptable PRD.

This paper Proposes a wavelet-based video compression method to improve compressed images using modification of wavelet coefficients. In conventional wavelet-based compression methods, bigger coefficients are transmitted early according to the significance of the coefficients. In this reason, when some coefficients which have more significance but are not bigger are not transmitted, image degradation occurs. The Proposed method considered two human visual characteristics. First, human eyes are more sensitive to the change of middle frequency which represents abrupt change of brightness than that of high frequency which expresses fine region. Second, human eyes are more dull to color component than luminance respectively. By adjusting the coefficients of wavelet transformed signals and allocating more bits for compression to the luminance signal, higher compression could be achieved.
