Abstract

In this paper, we present a new method for images compression, which is based on a reduction of the wavelet coefficients number independently of the singularity contained in the images. This method, called the hybridization of detail space (HDS), compared to discrete wavelet transform (DWT), it has many advantages. The (HDS) method considers first an r-regular multiresolution analysis of and replaces a great number of its wavelet basis elements by new vectors using the orthogonal matrices and prime numbers. So, it can make a great number of wavelet coefficients be equal to zero independently of the image singularity. For illustrating the effectiveness of the (HDS) method compared to (DWT), we have implemented the algorithm on a gray-scale image that has considerable singularities in MATLAB, and the decomposition has been done at level using Haar wavelet. So, the experimental results with this new method have given the better performance for the quality and the size of the compressed image.
