A Study of Image Compression Based Transmission Algorithm Using Spiht for Low Bit Rate Application

摘要

Image compression is internationally recognized up to the minute tools for decrease the communication bandwidth and save the transmitting power. It should reproduce a good quality image after compressed at low bit rates. Set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) is wavelet based computationally very fast and among the best image compression based transmission algorithm that offers good compression ratios, fast execution time and good image quality. Precise Rate Control (PRC) is the distinct characteristic of SPIHT. Image compression-based on Precise Rate Control and fast coding time are principally analyzed in this paper. Experimental result shows that, in the case of low bit-rate, the modified algorithm with fast Coding Time and Precise Rate Control can reduce the execution time and improves the quality of reconstructed image in both PSNR and perceptual when compare to at the same low bit rate.
