A concept is introduced to extract the essential and distinct characteristics of images. A key idea is to introduce the eigen patterns, which represents the characteristics of images independent of the resolutions and position of images on the screen. The previous works have demonstrated that we have obtained significant results in the image cognition based on the eigen patterns. In this study, we try to compress the eigen patterns which compose a database by wavelet transform, and report a relationship between the cognition rate and the extent of compression.
