Abstract

Digital image storage and transmission is a challenging task nowadays. As per statistics, an average of 1.8 billion images are transmitted daily. Hence, image compression is inevitable. Here, we discuss a novel approach, which is a type of lossy image compression. But the quality of reconstructed image is higher. This method makes use of reducing the number of bytes by storing the number of ‘1’s in each bitplane of three adjacent pixels and recording the count of number of ‘1’s. This count value is stored, and later Huffman compression is applied. Reconstruction is done by energy distribution method. This gives better results in terms of quality at lower PSNR values compared to JPEG algorithm. Here we have used another metric to measure the quality of the image which is discussed in detail.
