Rajasthan Technical University Kota, Kota, India Abstract: Image compression is the process of reducing the can be compressed without the introduction of errors, but amount of data required to represent digital image with no only up to a certain extent. This is called significant loss of information. We need compression for lossless compression. Beyond this point, errors are data storage & transmission in DVD’s, remote sensing, introduced. In text, drawings and program files, it is crucial video conferencing & fax. The objective of image that compression be lossless because a single error can compression is to reduce irrelevance and redundancy of the seriously damage the meaning of a text file, or cause a image data in order to be able to store or transmit data in program not to run or damage in a mechanical product. In an efficient form. Image compression may be lossy or image compression, a small loss in quality is usually not lossless. Lossless compression is preferred for archival noticeable. There is no "critical point" up to which purpose & often used for medical imaging, technical compression works perfectly, but beyond which it becomes drawings, clipart or comics. Lossy compression methods impossible. When there is some tolerance for loss, the especially used at bit rate i.e. suitable for natural images compression factor can be greater than it can when there is such as photographs. The lossy compression that produces no loss tolerance. For this reason, graphic images can be imperceptible differences may be called visually lossless. compressed more than text files or programs. Other This paper will focus on all image compression techniques. techniques for image compression include the use of fractals Keywords: Technical drawings, remote sensing, and wavelets. These methods have not gained widespread redundancy, irrelevance, lossy, lossless. acceptance for use on the Internet as of this writing. However, both methods offer promise because they offer I. INTRODUCTION higher compression ratios than the JPEG or GIF methods for Image compression is minimizing the size in bytes of a some types of images. Another new method that may in time graphics file without degrading the quality of the image to an replace the GIF format is the PNG format. unacceptable level. The reduction in file size allows more images to be stored in a given amount of disk or memory space. It also reduces the time required for images to be sent over the Internet or downloaded from Web pages. Data compression implies sending or storing a smaller number of bits. There are several different ways in which image files can be compressed. For Internet use, the two most common compressed graphic image formats are the JPEG format and the GIF format. The JPEG method is more often used for photographs, while the GIF method is commonly used for line art and other images in which geometric shapes are relatively simple.

Lossless compression: efficient because most faxed documents are mostly white Lossless compression involves with compressing data which, space, with occasional interruptions of black. Data that have when decompressed, will be an exact replica of the original long sequential runs of bytes (such as lower-quality sound data. This is the case when binary data such as executables, samples) can be RLE compressed after applying a predictive documents etc. are compressed. They need to be exactly filter such as delta encoding. reproduced when decompressed. On the other hand, images (and music too) need not be reproduced 'exactly'. An C. Huffman Encoding: approximation of the original image is enough for most A Huffman code is an optimal prefix code found using the purposes, as long as the error between the original and the algorithm developed by “David A”.A Method for the compressed image is tolerable. Lossless compression for Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes "Huffman's legal and medical documents, computer programs, algorithm derives this table based on the estimated mechanical drawings exploit only code and inter-pixel probability or frequency of occurrence (weight) for each redundancy. Following techniques are included in lossless possible value of the source symbol. As in other entropy compression: encoding methods, more common symbols are generally represented using fewer bits than less common symbols. B. Run Length Encoding: Huffman's method can be efficiently implemented, finding a Run: repetition of a symbol code in linear to the number of input weights if these weights Run-Length: number of repeated symbols. Run-length are sorted. encoding (RLE) is a very simple form of data compression in The following example bases on a data source using a set of which consecutive sequences of the same data value (runs) five different symbols. The symbol's frequencies are: are stored or transmitted as a single data value and count, rather than as the original individual data elements. This is Symbol Frequency particularly useful for data that contains many such runs such A 24 as simple graphic images and faxed documents. If the B 12 original doesn’t have many runs, it could increase rather than C 10 decrease the size of the data file or transmission. D 8 For example, consider a screen containing plain black text on E 8 a solid white background. There will be many long runs of Total 186 bit (with 3 bit per code word) white pixels in the blank space, and many short runs of black The two rarest symbols 'E' and 'D' are connected first, pixels within the text. Let us take a hypothetical single scan followed by 'C' and 'D'. The new parent nodes have the line, with B representing a black pixel and W representing frequency 16 and 22 respectively and are brought together in white: the next step. The resulting node and the remaining symbol WWWWWWWWWWWWBWWWWWWWWWWWWBB 'A' are subordinated to the root node that is created in a final BWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWB step. WWWWWWWWWWWWWW If we apply the run-length encoding (RLE) data compression algorithm to the above hypothetical scan line, we get the following: Interpret this as twelve W's, one B, twelve W's, three B's, etc. The run-length code represents the original 67 characters in only 18. Of course, the actual format used for the storage of images is generally binary rather than ASCII characters like this, but the principle remains the same. Even binary data files can be compressed with this method, file format specifications often dictate repeated bytes in files as padding space. However, newer compression methods such as DEFLATE often use LZ77-based Fig. 3.

LZW(Lempel Ziv welch) coding : 7 S = translation of OLD LZW is the foremost technique for general purpose data 8 S = S + C compression due to its simplicity and versatility. It is the 9 ELSE basis of many PC utilities that claim to “double the capacity 10 S = translation of NEW of your hard drive”. LZW compression uses a code table, 11 output S with 4096 as a common choice for the number of table 12 C = first character of S entries. Codes 0-255 in the code table are always assigned to 13 OLD + C to the string table represent single bytes from the input file. When encoding 14 OLD = NEW begins the code table contains only the first 256 entries, END WHILE with the remainder of the table being blanks. Compression is achieved by using codes 256 through 4095 to represent E. Lossy compression : sequences of bytes. As the encoding continues, LZW Compressing an image is significantly different than identifies repeated sequences in the data, and adds them to compressing raw binary data. Of course, general purpose the code table.
