Abstract: In this study, we are presenting WWT (Walsh Wavelet Transform) technique to compress an image. In recent times, DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) & WT (Walsh Transform) are developed as a prevalent methods for compressing an image. In this, WT (Wavelet Transform) is one such significant transform of image compression. Outcome of this is altered with the wavelet type changes. In this paper, we used MSE & PSNR parameters to estimate the performance of several wavelets in image compression. The wavelet filters used in this process are Daubechies (db-x), Discrete meyer (dmey), Coiflets (coif-x), Biorthogonal (bior – x), Symlets (sym-x), Reverse Biorthogonal (rbiox) along with 3 different color images. With this results, it is suggested that good choice of wavelet improves the quality as well as PSNR remarkably. MSE versus PSNR simulation results are tabulated with different wavelet filters. These results yielded ‘dmey’ wavelet filter produced better results. Key words: Walsh Transform, Wavelet Transform, Arithmetic coding
I. INTRODUCTION Images comprise huge data which needs more memory, huge communication BW (Band Width) & more processing time [4]. So we need to perform image compression by keeping important data required to obtain the original image in receiver section. Generally any image can be understood as an intensity/pixel value matrices. Generally images consists of 3 types of redundancies. There are several methods to reduce those redundancies. By accomplishing one such method, we can compress any image. Basically huge redundancies occurs in large ranges of constant color & equally less redundancy occur in huge/frequent changes in color & those are tough to compress [1]. The main aim of compressing an image is to represent any image by diminishing the number of bits/pixel. So the quantity of storage space needed

to save the data is condensed [6]. Due to this, essential processing time to convey the data is reduced. Several techniques were established for accomplishment of compressing an image. MSE & PSNR are 2 important factors to estimate the compression algorithm performance. There are several image compression techniques, but basically each technique has 3 fundamental steps of compression: Transformation (DCT/DWT), quantization, & encoding (reduction of number of bits/pixel to represent the image) [7]. In this compression, selection of transform plays an important role to decrease the resultant data size when compared to source data size. WALSH TRANSFORM: Walsh transform plays an important role in image compression. Important properties of Walsh transform are real, symmetric & orthogonal [3]. It is an Ultra-fast transform and very good energy compactness. Unlike the Fourier transform, which is based on trigonometric terms, the Walsh transform consists of a series expansion of basis function whose values are only -1 or1. These functions can be implemented more efficiently in a digital environment than the exponential basis function of the Fourier transform. The forward & inverse Walsh kernals are identical except for a constant multiplication factor of 1/N for 1-D. The forward & inverse Walsh kernals are identical for 2-D [5]. This is due to the array formed by the kernals is a symmetric matrix having orthogonal rows and columns, so its inverse array is the same as the array itself. The concept of frequency exists also in Walsh transform basis functions [2]. We can think of frequency as the number of zero crossings or the number of transitions in a basis vector and we call this number sequence. The Walsh transform exhibits the property of energy compaction. Walsh basis functions with n=4 are shown in Fig. 1. Mathematical representations of 2D Walsh forward transform & Walsh reverse transforms are given in 2 equations respectively.

WAVELET TRANSFORM: The method of 2D DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) of one & two levels is shown in fig 2.
This technique is used for color image compression. This new technique depends on Wavelet and Walsh transform for transformation. This technique can be explained in following steps. 1. 2. 3.

Accomplish 2 levels – DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) of original image All sub bands at first level are ignored Remaining sub bands (except LL2) are quantized (i.e. divide each sub band by a factor) Apply Arithmetic coding on each quantized sub band (HL2, LH2 & HH2).
These are all first part of WWT compression algorithm.

Apply 2D Walsh Transformation on each 8x8 block from LL2 sub band, and then Quantize each block (Divide each block by a Factor) 2. Each DC-value for each 8x8 block are stored in new array called as DC-Values 3. Other values form each 8x8 stored as one dimensional array in new matrix represented as a Multi-Array-Matrix 4. Convert Multi-Array-Matrix to onedimensional array, and then compress it by using Arithmetic Coding. These are all second part of WWT compression algorithm. In this compression technique, selection of Compression Parameters plays a vital role in obtaining good image quality & compression ratio. Compression Parameters options: •
'Factor1' or 'Factor2': For Good image quality : 0.02 or 0.03 or 0.04
•
'Factor1' or 'Factor2': For Good compression ratio : 0.05 or 0.07 or 0.1, …, 0.5
•
‘Para’: this factor is used for reduce lowfrequency quality to Increase compression ratio (Examples: 2 or 3 or 4... 10).
Calculation of MSE and PSNR: The two performance metrics used to evaluate the Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) are x & x’, then MSE is defined by MSE =

Where x [n1, n2], x’ [n1, n2] are the original & reconstructed images correspondingly and N1 and N2 are the dimensions of the image, and the PSNR is defined by PSNR=10

III. SIMULATION RESULTS We provide the results to the 3 different color images by using WWT image compression technique. In this we obtained results for 3 different color images of Eye, Tiger & Dogs respectively. We tabulated corresponding MSE Vs PSNR results to all the images by using standard wavelet filters.

IV. CONCLUSION Simulation results for color image compression process shows that ‘dmey’ wavelet filter of wavelet family obtain a better PSNR result, and correspondingly ‘db-9’, ‘db-7’, ’db-5’, ‘db-3’, ‘sym3’, ‘coif1’, ‘db-1’, ‘bior1.1’, ‘rbio1.1’ & ’haar’ obtain a better PSNR result respectively . The ‘haar’ wavelet gives poor results. So finally the combination of ‘dmey’ wavelet with WWT (Walsh Wavelet Transform) image compression technique gives good reconstructed image with better results.
