Description
Summary:Compound image is a combination of natural images, text, and graphics.This paper presents a compression technique for improving coding efficiency. The algorithm first decomposes the compound images by using 3 level biorthogonal wavelet transform and then the transformed image was further compressed by Parallel dictionary based LZW algorithm called PDLZW. In PDLZW algorithm instead of using a unique fixed word width dictionary a hierarchical variable word width dictionary set containing several dictionaries of small address space and increases the word widths used for compression and decompression algorithms. The experimental results show that performance of the proposed approach was better compared with other approaches in the literature.
