Tiivistelmä
The study is related to lossless compression of greyscale images. The goal of the study was to combine two techniques of lossless image compression, i.e. Integer Wavelet Transform and Differential Pulse Code Modulation to attain better compression ratio.
This is an experimental study, where we implemented Integer Wavelet Transform, Differential Pulse Code Modulation and an optimized predictor model using Genetic Algorithm. This study gives encouraging results for greyscale images. We achieved a better compression ration in term of entropy for experiments involving quadrant of transformed image and using optimized predictor coefficients from Genetic Algorithm. In an other set of experiments involving whole image, results are encouraging and opens up many areas for further research work like implementing Integer Wavelet Transform on multiple levels and finding optimized predictor at local levels.
