Medical Image Compression by Using Discrete Haar Wavelet Transform

Abasi Julius

Abstract: Medical image compression is very useful and has a great significance nowadays for data storage and easy transfer of data or images between two points. In order to transfer images its first required to be compressed at the transmitting point and upon being reached to destination decompression process is done to reconstruct the original image or an approximate of it. In this paper we introduce the best way of compressing medical images by using Discrete Haar Wavelet Transform DWT. Many research have been done in image compression techniques among of the methods used are Discrete Cosine Transform, Gaussian Pyramids, Block Truncation Coding and Singular Value Decomposition,

Keywords: Image Compression, Discrete Haar Wavelet Transform DWT, Coding redundancy, CWT, PSNR
