A Survey of Image Compression Techniques
Puja Singh, Satyaranjan Panda · 2014
Introduction of computer technology in various fields has simplified the job of human being but has also resulted in large amount of digital data. The challenge lies in managing this huge amount of data, i.e. storing and retrieving it. The storing resources required for it also increases the cost of the overall system. If one can use some technique to reduce this digital data without losing the original information, then the cost can be cut down to some extent. The process of reducing data size without losing the vital information is known as data compression. There are various data compression techniques one can use. These techniques can be classified into two types i.e. Lossy and Lossless compression. In this paper some of the image compression techniques are discussed in detail.
