Study and Implementation of SPIHT and Modified SPIHT Algorithm For Image Compression

Abstract
In this paper, we study the existing compression technique. That is, Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT). This compression algorithm is based on the wavelet transform. A wavelet is a small wave which has its energy concentrated in time. It gives a tool for the inspection of non-stationary signal. Wavelet transform which decompose a signal into a set of elementary function.This elementary function is called the Wavelet. Here we present experimental result comparing the SPHIT and modified SPIHT algorithm. We found modified SPIHT algorithm gives better compression ratio and bit per pixel value than the existing SPIHT algorithm. Compression of image is carried on MATLAB.
