Abstract (Summary of the Work)

A technique to compress an image is described here. The image compression includes transform of image, quantization and encoding. For the transform of image a multiresolution signal decomposition scheme is used, which is based on a nonlinear wavelet constructed with morphological operators. morphological dilation combined with quadratic downsampling and the Synthesis morphological erosion combined with quadratic upsampling. Quantization is done by taking a threshold value. For the encoding purpose, EZW algorithm is used which has the property that bits in the bit stream are generated in order of their importance. On the bit stream obtained further Arithmetic Encoder is aaplied.The experiments are performed on six images. A performance measure based on PSNR is used to evaluate the results.
