A review on Image Compression

The rapid growth of digital technology has paved the way for many image processing applications and motivated the need for better compression algorithms. Image compression is the technique where the size of an image is minimized by keeping the quality of the image to an acceptable level. The main objective of image compression is to decrease the redundancy of the image thereby increasing the capacity of storage and efficient transmission. There are different ways by which images can be compressed. The purpose of this paper is to present information about Image Compression Technique. With a basic concept of image compression, an overview of various compression algorithms is presented here.
