PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LOSSY IMAGE COMPRESSION TECHNIQUES OVER AN AWGN CHANNEL

M. ShriniwasVaidya

Abstract: Recent advancement in image compression research resulted in reducing the time and cost in image storage and transmission without significant reduction of the image quality. In this paper software algorithms for image compression based on psycho visual and inter pixel redundancy elimination have been developed and implemented. This paper examines the suitability of these two compression techniques over a practical AWGN communication channel and concludes with an experimental comparison on the basis of BER v/s Eb/No ratio.

Keywords: Psycho visual redundancy, inter pixel redundancy, lossless and lossy compression, AWGN channel, BER, Eb/No ratio.
