Selection of Vanishing Moments of Symlet and Coiflet Wavelets on CT Images

The main aim of the work is to develop image compression algorithms with high quality and compression ratio. The objective also includes finding out an best algorithm for medical image compression techniques. The objective is also alert towards the choice of the developed image compression algorithm, which do not modify the characterization behavior of the image. In this paper, image compression algorithm based on discrete symlet and coiflet wavelet transform is implemented for decomposing the image. The selection of different vanishing moments are discussed based on the values of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), compression ratio (CR), means square error (MSE) and bits per pixel (BPP). The optimum moments for compression are also chosen based on the results.
