Thread Subject: Image compression using Wavelets

What is the process of image compression using any wavelet? Is it the same process or every wavelet has its own compression process? For example, if we compare image compression using daubechies and haar wavelets, is the process same or different? if it is same, then to what extent is it same?

Hi, You can play with wcompress to answer your question. For image compression applications, I would recommend you use a biorthogonal wavelet filter.

Hi,
Currently I'm doing a project of image compression using Daubechies D4 wavelet. In order to apply D4 to an image, do I have to decompose the image or can i apply D4 coefficients directly without decomposition of the image. If decomposition should be used what are the formulae for decomposition, I found many formulae on internet but I'm getting confused about which formulae to use.

The wavelet coefficients are the result of filtering an image with the D4 wavelet filter. So you have to obtain the discrete wavelet transform of the image first.
