Abstract / truncated to 115 words (read the full abstract)

Digital signal processing (DSP), and, in particular, image processing, has been studied for many years. However, only the recent advances in computing technology have made it possible to use DSP in day-to-day applications. Images are now commonly used in many applications. The increasingly ubiquitous use of images raises new challenges. Users expect the images to be transmitted in a minimum of time and to take up as little storage space as possible. These requirements call for efficient image compression algorithms. The users want this compression and decompression process to be very fast so as not to have to wait for an image to be usable. Therefore, the complexities of compression algorithms need to be studied. ...
