1. INTRODUCATION –Image processing is the study of any algorithm that takes an image as input and returns an image as output. [1] Image processing techniques are often used to improve the visual quality of synthesized images. In imaging science, image processing is any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, such as a photograph or video frame; the output of image processing may be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image. Image processing is a method to convert [2] an image into digital form and perform some operations on it, in order to get an enhanced image or to extract some useful information from it. Images contain large amounts of information that requires much storage space, large transmission band widths and transmission times. Therefore it is advantageous to compress the image by storing only the essential information needed to reconstruct the image. Image compression is an important area in the field of digital image processing; it is defined as minimizing the size in bytes of a graphics file without degrading the quality of the image to an unacceptable level. [3] The objective of image compression is to reduce irrelevance and redundancy of the image data in order is able to store or transmit data in an efficient for image compression schemes are generally classified as
lossless and lossy. Image compression algorithm’s is aim to remove redundancy data in a way which makes image reconstruction. Wavelet based techniques are the latest development in [4,8] the field of image compression which offers multiresolution capability leading to superior energy compaction with high quality reconstructed images at high compression ratio. Wavelet is mathematical tool for hierarchically decomposing function. Image compression using wavelet transforms is a powerful method that is preferred by scientists to get the compressed images at higher PSNR values. In this paper concludes with a set of description about image processing and wavelet based reconstruct image which to generated image which to illustrate ideas and algorithms and also with the resulting compressed & reconstructed images. In this paper is organized in the following: section II basic concept of image processing. A brief introduction on wavelet and wavelet application in image processing is described in section V. Discuss about image compression concept and introduction of color image in image processing in section III and IV. The objective of this paper is color image compressed by wavelet methods in different level of decomposition and techniques are applied in different sizes of color images and reconstruct image quality measured objectively using peak signal noise ratio and mean square error.

[7] Image such as image processing to reduce noise, contrast compression in lossless manner can be enhancement and image sharpening. A low – level reconstructed exactly without any change in the process is characterized by the fact that both its intensity values. [8] In lossy compression, the inputs involve tasks such as segmentation , original signal is exactly reconstructed from the description of those [5]objects to reduce them to a compressed data. In any data compression scheme form suitable for computer processing and three basic steps are involved: transformation recognition of individual objects- A mid level quantization and encoding. Wavelet based process is characterized by the fact that it input compression is a one type of transform-based generally are image , but its outputs- are attributes . compression. In general, transform based Finally higher level processing involves making compression is done according to the scheme shown sense of an ensemble of recognized object as in in fig-1.

Image Compression –Image compression reduces the number of bits required to represent the image Decoder Compressed Inverse transform therefore the amount of memory required to store the image transform Reconstructed data set is reduced. [6,8] Image compression Image research aims at reducing the number of bits needed Fig – 2-Block diagram to represent an image by removing the spatial and spectral redundancies as much as possible Images Introduction of Color Image in Image Processing – require much storage space, large space, large An image is an array, or a matrix of square pixels transmission bandwidth and long transmission time.

An image I as are matrix I= [A, B], with image rows (defining the row index A) and image columns (column index B), are row value together with a column value define a small image are called pixel. The purposes of the following discussion subdivide color image processing into three principal areas: (1) color transformations (also called color mappings); its mean processing the pixels of each color plane based strictly on their values and not on their spatial coordinates. This category is analogous to the intensity transformations. (2) spatial processing of individual color planes; spatial (neighborhood) filtering for individual color planes and is analogous to spatial filtering. (3) color vector processing all components of a color image simultaneously. Since full-color images have at least three components, color pixels are indeed vectors. For example, in the RGB color images, the RGB system color point can be interpreted as a vector extending from the origin to that point in the RGB coordinate system. Color image compression techniques, is extremely crucial because in lossy image compression technique data cannot be recovered exactly. Red, green and blue color components of pixel are correlated with visual appearance. RGB – RGB image is format for color image this is represents an image with three matrix of size each matrix corresponds to one of the color red, green and blue. Here each pixel has particular colors. Each of these components has a range 0-255, this gives a total of 255power of 3=16, 77,216 different possible colors in the image and the total number of bits required for each pixel is 24 bit. RGB images are also known as true-color images. Image Processing Block set blocks, these images are represented by an array, where the first plane represents the red pixel intensities; the second plane represents the green pixel intensities, and the third plane represents the blue pixel intensities. Introduction of Wavelet in image processing – Wavelet analysis is a recent development in
mathematics that has fare aching influence on application in applied mathematics, physics and engineering sciences. [10,11] A French geophysicist, J.Morlet, introduced the Wavelets is the beginning of the eighties as a tool for signal analysis in view of applications for the analysis of seismic data. [12]Mathematical of techniques based on dilation and translations. In 1988 Daubechies provided a major breakthrough by constructing families of orthonormal wavelets with compact support [13]. A particle in a wave becomes a source of secondary wave. This particle, which generates a new wave, is called a wavelet. This is the physical meaning of a wavelet. [10] In mathematical terms wavelets are Function with translations subject to any one (or more) of the following operations: Dilations: Dilations of a function f is given by (1) Translation: We denote the translation (Time-shift) by and (2) Modulation: Modulation (frequency-shift) by such that (3)
A Wavelet is defined as a small wave that has its energy concentrated in time to provide a tool for analysis of transient, non stationary or time varying phenomena Data and image compression, solution of partial differential equation and etc. Common applications of wavelet transforms include speech and audio processing, image and video processing, biomedical imaging, and 1-D and 2-D applications in communications and geophysics. Compression algorithm based on the wavelet expansion representation which concentrates most of the energy of a signal in a few coefficients compression for archiving in an efficient manner, computational compression so that less data has to be manipulated in numerical algorithms. Compression information in a manner of that reduces noise in a systematic manner, so that the resulting signals (image, audio signal, etc).Wavelet transform exploits both the spatial and frequency correlation of data by dilation and
translation of mother wavelet on the input data, its support the multi-resolution analysis of data(see fig3). Wavelet transformation is powerful because of its multi-resolution decomposition technique [14]. This technique allows wavelets to de-correlate an image and concentrates the energy in a few coefficients.

Measure Reconstructed Image Quality - Standard distortion measure are mean square error (MSE) and [15] peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) between the original and compressed image version. Larger PSNR will produce better image quality, usually expressed in decibels (db), The PSNR is defined as,
Method– Firstly an input image is taken by the computer and wavelet transform as performed on the digital color image, thresholding is done on the digital image thus the compression of image is done on the computer. Then with the compressed reconstruction of wavelet transformed image is done, then inverse wavelet transform is performed on the image, thus image is reconstructed. Wavedec2 performs the decomposition of the image for the given desired level (N) with the given desired wavelets (wname). wavedec is a two dimensional wavelet analysis function [C, S] = wavedec2(X, N, wname) returns the wavelet decomposition of the matrix X at level N using are the decomposition string ‘wname’ output are the decomposition vector C and the corresponding book keeping matrix S. here the image is taken as the matrix X, and after compressed image, then reconstruct the image using inverse wavelet transform. Since the whole purpose of this paper was to compare the performance of image quality (PSNR) and compression (CR) using different wavelets, and here we try the perfect reconstruction after processing the original image. The all process of wavelet based image compression is performed in MATLAB software. %Input the image
