Image Compression Methods – A Literature Review

Abstract

Image compression is the technique through which we can reduce amount of data required to represent a digital image. An image is good way to visualize any perspective related to any activity. Images are important documents today; to work with them in some applications there is need for compression. Image compression plays a very important role in the transmission from one place to another and storage of image data on the storage devices. The main aim of image compression is to represent an image in the fewest number of bits without losing the essential information content within an original image. In this we provide literature reviews on various image compression techniques.
