Compressing an image is significantly different than compressing raw binary data. compressing images is used by this different compression algorithm. Wavelet transforms used in Image compression methods to provide high compression rates while maintaining good image quality. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is one of the most common methods used in signal and image compression .It is very powerful compared to other transform because its ability to represent any type of signals both in time and frequency domain simultaneously. In this paper, we will moot the use of Wavelet Based Image compression algorithm- Embedded Zerotree Wavelet (EZW). We will obtain a bit stream with increasing accuracy from ezw algorithm because of basing on progressive encoding to compress an image into . All the numerical results were done by using matlab coding and the numerical analysis of this algorithm is carried out by sizing Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Compression Ratio (CR) for standard Lena Image .Experimental results beam that the method is fast, robust and efficient enough to implement it in still and complex images with significant image compression.

A variety of new and powerful algorithms have been developed for image compression over the years. Among them the wavelet-based image compression schemes have gained much popularity due to their overlapping nature which reduces the blocking artifacts that are common phenomena in JPEG compression and multiresolution character which leads to superior energy compaction with high quality reconstructed images. This paper provides a detailed survey on some of the popular wavelet coding techniques such

In the Embedded Zerotree Wavelet (EZW) algorithm, a large number of bits are consumed in the encoding of Isolated Zero (IZ) symbols. This is the main bottleneck of the EZW algorithm, which limits its performance in terms of compression gain. To circumvent this limitation of the EZW algorithm, we propose in this paper, the Enhanced-EZW (E-EZW) algorithm based on the novel concept of a sparse tree (ST) encoding scheme. The ST encoding scheme provides an efficient encoding of ‘IZ’ symbols and eventually gives significant improvement in compression gain. Image features are clustered at various locations in an image, which gives rise to spatial correlation between Significant Coefficients (SCs) at these locations. Based on the above observation, we further propose differential coding of relative position of SCs in ST (DCORPS) in the E-EZW (DCORPS E-EZW) algorithm. We analyze cases where the ST coding gives higher coding gain compared to the EZW algorithm. Further, we see that DCORPS in sparse tree coding improves the overall coding efficiency of the E-EZW algorithm. By simulation results, we also demonstrate that the E-EZW and DCORPS E-EZW algorithms outperform two other important wavelet-based compression algorithms: namely set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) and JPEG-2000 for a representative set of real-life images.

In this paper a fully automatic system for embedding visually recognizable watermark patterns to video objects is proposed. The architecture consists of 3 main modules. During the first module unsupervised video object extraction is performed, by analyzing stereoscopic pairs of frames. Then each video object is decom- posed into three levels with ten subbands, using the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)
