Image Compression Using Self-Organizing Feature Map and Wavelet Transformation
Subscribe/Renew Journal
In this paper, a new method of vector quantizer design for image compression using Generic codebook and wavelet transformation is proposed. In the proposed method, Self Organizing Feature Map (SOFM) is used for initial codebook generation. A new scheme of wavelet transformation based Vector Quantization (VQ) technique is proposed to replace the SOFM code vectors by VQ code vectors. The proposed wavelet transform is used to generate wavelet coefficients which are then converted into VQ code vectors. Discrete Cosine Transformation based vector quantization technique is proposed in the existing image compression algorithms with low quality images with greater amount of information loss. Hence to increase the psycho visual quality of the reconstructed image wavelet transformation based vector quantization technique is proposed in this paper. Performance of the proposed work is tested with varying codebook size and various training images. Experimental results show that the reconstructed images obtained by the proposed method are of good quality with better compression ratio and higher Peak Signal–to–Noise Ratio.
