Abstract

This paper presents a new method for color image compression and enhancement. The color image is decomposed into its three components. Each component is decomposed using any type of wavelet. The high frequency components are mapped using the color space YUV,YIQ or CIEXYZ. The mapped components with the low frequency component constitute the red, green and blue components. The compressed image is reconstructed from the three colors. Color space CIEXYZ proved to have the highest performance for SNR and compression ratio while the three color spaces proved different performance for bit rate depending on the details of the color image.
