Abstract

Image Compression is a way of decreasing the amount of space needed to store or transmit an image by removing redundant information. In many ways, compression it like folding clothing – the result takes up less space, but it not immediately usable. Compressing an image means that it is cheaper to store, and faster to transmit, but may take more time to compress and decompress. The best compression methods compress and decompress quickly, but offer a significant savings in the size of the file.
