The role of digital images is increasing rapidly in mobile devices. They are used in manyapplications including virtual tours, virtual reality, e-commerce etc. Such applicationssynthesize realistic looking novel views of the reference images on mobile devices using thetechniques like image-based rendering (IBR). However, with this increasing role of digitalimages comes the serious issue of processing large images which requires considerable time.Hence, methods to compress these large images are very important. Wavelets are excellent datacompression tools that can be used with IBR algorithms to generate the novel views ofcompressed image data. This paper proposes a framework that uses wavelet-based warpingtechnique to render novel views of compressed images on mobile/ handheld devices. Theexperiments are performed using Android Development Tools (ADT) which shows the proposedframework gives better results for large images in terms of rendering time.
