Compression standards roles in image processing: case study

With the rapid spread of image and video processing applications and the further development of multimedia technologies, compression standards become more and more important every day. This study was conducted to investigate the role of compression standards in image processing. Digital watermarking algorithm for securing multimedia application is considered one of the most important applications heavily rely on compression standards. It was selected to perform our experimental study by employing wavelet and JPEG compression standards. An analysis of the experiment results indicated that the wavelet outperform JPEG compression standard and applications implemented wavelet have better performance than those implemented JPEG.
