A Review of Image Compression Techniques

Abstract

Image compression is the type of data compression on digital images. The main objective is to reduce redundancy of the image. In image compression, we do not only concentrate on reducing size but also concentrate on doing it without losing quality and information of image. The survey summarizes the major image compression techniques that maybe lossy and lossless, advantages, disadvantages and research possibilities. This paper attempts to give a review of run length coding, Huffman coding, DCT, fractal and Talbot effects. We discuss advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms.
