초록

Wavelet Transform is amenable to efficient algorithms. So wavelet transform was adopted many signal processing and communication applications. For example, the wavelet transform was adopted as the transform for JPEG2000. However, Wavelet has weakness about smoothness along the contours and limited directional information. Hence, recently, some new transforms have been introduced to take advantage of this property. So we use to other transform, called contourlet transform in compression. In this paper, we propose a new method for image compression based on the contourlet transform, which has been recently introduced. Contourlet transform has a good result about images with smooth contours. Moreover, Contourlet is feasible multiresolution and multidirection expansion using non-separable filter bank. This treatise shows a good image representation after compressing using contourlet transform.
