Audio/video compression applications using wavelets

It is well known that the advantages of wavelet transform are to provide characteristic of multiple resolution and global decomposition that are the significant features for the audio/video compression applications. In this paper, an effective wavelet-based audio/video compression algorithm is presented to provide highly efficient signal compression mechanism with acceptable human visual/hearing perception. Experimental simulations show that the proposed audio/video model can meet the current industrial communication requirements in terms of the processing time and the compression performance. Development of wavelet-based audio/video compression model also includes the consideration of hardware implementation. With this high-performance audio and video codec, it can be employed to develop compact, low power, high-speed, portable, cost-effective, and low-weight video/audio compression multimedia application
