Wavelet Transform & its Applications in Image Processing
In today’s multimedia wireless communication , major issue is bandwidth needed to satisfy real time transmission of audio and video data. The solution to this problem is to efficiently compress audio and video data for a given SNR. Wavelet transform is an evolving technology which offers far higher degrees of data compression compared to standard transforms such as DCT etc. In this talk we will be discussing concepts of wavelet transform and its applications to image compression and processing. The same can be extended to video processing.
