A Hybrid DWT-SVD Image-Coding System (HDWTSVD) for Color Images

In this paper, we propose the HDWTSVD system to encode color images. Before encoding, the color components (RGB) are transformed into YCbCr. Cb and Cr components are downsampled by a factor of two, both horizontally and vertically, before sending them through the encoder. A criterion based on the av...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose the HDWTSVD system to encode color images. Before encoding, the color components (RGB) are transformed into YCbCr. Cb and Cr components are downsampled by a factor of two, both horizontally and vertically, before sending them through the encoder. A criterion based on the average standard deviation of 8x8 subblocks of the Y component is used to choose DWT or SVD for all the components. Standard test images are compressed based on the proposed algorithm.
