Abstract:-The embedded zero tree wavelet algorithm is
very simple, effective , image compression algorithm
and having the property that the bits in the bit stream
are generated in an order of importance by yielding a
fully embedded code. The embedded code represents
the sequence of binary decisions which distinguish an
image from the null image. By using an embedded
coding algorithm,the encoder could terminate the
encoding at any point thereby allowing the target rate
and target distortion metric to be met exactly and also,
given a bit stream, the decoder could cease the decoding
at any point in the bit stream and it still produce exactly
the same image that would have been encoded at the bit
rate and which corresponds to the truncated bit
stream. In addition with producing a fully embedded
bit stream,the embedded zeo tree wavelet consistently
produces compression results which are competitive
with virtually all known compression algorithms on
standard test images. Yet this performance gets
achieved with a technique which requires absolutely no
training, no pre stored tables , codebooks and requires
no prior knowledge of the image source.

Introduction
The important development in the area of digital
image processing has been image compression. The idea
reduce the memory an image occupies in memory with
eliminating redundant data. The way to identify data which
is redundant in an image is by exploiting. The limitations in
the human visual system can certain information in the
image is not relevant to perception of the human. The
wavelets allow the only one to represent image data such
that perceptually the redundant data could be located and
removed and by performing the discrete wavelet transform
on an image, the image could be converted into the
frequency domain separating it again into trends,the
areas of statistical correlation and the details, such as edges
ISSN: 2231-5381
or object boundaries. In practice, many of the details are in
an image can be eliminated without the perceptible effect.
This compression technique is a form of lossy
compression in which the data is destrayed. It is in the
contrast to the lossless compression in which the original
data prior with compression can be reconstructed exactly.
Using lossy compression techniques the one can achieve
much greater compression ratios than by using lossless
compression techniques.
The desirable property of the image compression
scheme is that of the embedded bit stream. When it is
encoded as the embedded bit stream, the image is suitable
for progressive transmission and in which the entire
image is always visible and becomes the Clearer when it
is received. This contrasts the raster-based transmission
in which the image is transmitted row-by-row, completely
decompressed, but the only part of the image is visible until
it is completely received. The embedded zero trees of
wavelets algorithm produces the embedded bit stream
from an image that has been transformed into the frequency
domain using the DWT. A bit stream generated by the ezw
algorithm represents the sequence of the binary decisions
that distinguish an image from
The null or all gray image. Using this method an
encoder can terminate the encoding At any moment,
allowing a target bit rate to be reached exactly; likewise, a
decoder can Terminate the decoding at any moment,
allowing for progressive transmission.

Background
Wavelets are a class of functions that satisfy
certain mathematical requirements and those are used in
representing the data and other functions. Using which the
superposition of functions to approximate the other
functions are nothing new. In the 1800's, joseph fourier has
discovered that any periodic function could be expressed as
the sum of series of sines and cosines.It is known as the
fourier analysis. The Wavelets are an extension of the

fourier analysis. The goal of the wavelet analysis is that to
turn the information of a signal into the
numbers—coefficients—which can be manipulated, stored,
transmitted, analyzed, and used to reconstruct the original
signal. By translation (moving) and dilation the wavelets
are to change their frequency, and they automatically adapt
to
Different components of the signal, by using a
small window to look at the brief high-frequency
components and a large window to look at long-lived low
frequency components.
This procedure is known as the multi resolution
analysis (mra). Using the mra, the signal is studied at a
coarse resolution and to get a global description and at
increasingly higher resolutions to obtain increasingly fine
details. In the mra, each wavelet, represented by the
wavelet function ψ(t), is also paired with a scaling
function φ(t) [1, 2].
III.
Discrete wavelet transform
The discrete wavelet transform is applied to the
one-dimensional signals in the simplest form. Let us
consider the haar wavelet basis, which is the simplest of
wavelet basis. Suppose when we are given a
one-dimensional image consisting of only the four pixels,
with the values
9735
An image could be represented in a haar basis by
computing the dwt. To do this, the first average the pixels
together are pairwise, to get a new lower resolution image
with pixel values
84
Information had clearly been lost in an averaging
process. To recover a four original pixels, the information
must also be stored in a form of the detail coefficients the
first detail coefficient is 1, because an average is 1 less than
9 and 1 more than 7; 8 + 1 = 9 and 8 − 1 = 7. The second
detail coefficient is −1 because the average is
1 more than 3 and 1 less than 5; 4 + (−1) = 3 and 4 − (−1) =
5. The image now has the values
8 4 1 −1
Where the 8 and 4 are the low-pass coefficients and 1 and
-1 are the high-pass coefficients. It represents the level
decomposition of an image.
For the full decomposition, we are successively iterate the
dwt on a low-pass coefficients until there was only the one
low-pass coefficient remaining from the low-pass
coefficients
ISSN: 2231-5381
8 and 4, we will obtain the low-pass value of 6 and the
high-pass value of 2. This will leave the fully transformed
image with a values
6 2 1 −1
The more general technique for performing the dwt, one
that was more adapted to other families of wavelets and
is to represent a haar basis as a pair of filters. The low-pass
filter h = 1 , 1 and the high-pass filter g = 2 , − 1 .
X, pad h with zeros to match a length of x (h = 2 , 1 , 0,
0, . . . ), and to compute the dot product h · x and to obtain
the low-pass coefficients (translating x by two time- units
for each coefficient, h = 0, 0, 2 , 2 , 0, 0, . . . for the second
coefficient,).
To do the same with the filter g and to compute
g · x for each translation and to obtain the high-pass
coefficients. The translation by two time-units is a result of
the implicit down sampling by two (↓ 2) of the output
vector, that is, the samples 0, 2, 4, . . . are retained and the
samples 1, 3, 5, . . . are discarded. So that we have two
filters, if we will translate each filter by only one time-unit,
we will have two times a data upon output. According to
the nyquist’s rule, we could discard half the output
The filters for an inverse transform will be h = 1, 1
and g = 1, −1 . A combination of these two pairs of filters is
called the filter bank. The filters used in the forward
transform are called as the analysis bank and the filters
used in the inverse transform are called as the synthesis
bank.
The desired property of the wavelet filter banks is
the orthogonality. The filter bank is the orthogonal if the
inverse of the matrix is used for the forward transform is
the transpose. It is achievable for a haar filter bank by
multiplying with the matrix by 2. Now c is the analysis
matrix and d will be the synthesis matrix, c −1 = c t = d and
cc t x = x.
IV.
Dwt of digital images:
The digital image could be represented as the
two-dimensional array of the pixels, known as a raster.
Each row and the column of the raster could be thought of
as the discretely-sampled signal.A dwt could then be
performed on each one of these signals independently.
The dwt is the first applied to the rows, this
iteration continues until there is one pixel left in the upper
left corner of a transformed image.
As so far, the discussion of the wavelet filter
banks is used in the dwt and has only included the haar
basis. There are also other wavelet families,which

consisting of the more complex wavelets with the longer
filters.The three commonly used orthogonal wavelet
families which include the Daubechies, coifman, and
symlet families. There is also the family of bi orthogonal
V.
image restoration depends on the extent and the accuracy
of the knowledge of the degradation process as well as
filter design. Image restoration differs from image
enhancement in that the later is concerned with the more
extraction or accentuation of image features.
Image processing:
VIII.
Image processing refers to the processing of a 2d
picture by the computer.
Basic definitions:
Image will be defined in the “real world” is
considered to be the function of two real variables, for
example, the a(x,y) with a is the amplitude (e.g. brightness)
of the image and at the real coordinate position (x,y).
The Modern digital technology has made it
possible to manipulate multi-dimensional signals with
systems that range from simple digital circuits to the
advanced parallel computers. A goal of this manipulation
could be divided into the three categories:
Image compression
It is the concerned with minimizing a number of
bits required to represent the image. An application of
compression is in the broadcast tv, the remote sensing via
satellite,the military communication via the aircraft, radar,
teleconferencing, facsimile the transmission and for
educational & business documents, the medical images that
arise in computer tomography, the magnetic resonance
imaging and the digital radiology, motion, pictures, the
satellite images, the weather maps, the geological surveys
and so on.
• text compression – ccitt group3 & group4
• image processing (image in -> image out)
• still image compression – jpeg
• image analysis (image in -> measurements out)
• video image compression – mpeg
• image understanding (image in -> high-level description
out)
An image may be considered to contain the
sub-images sometimes which referred to as the
regions-of-interest, rois, or simply regions. This concept
will reflects the fact that images could be frequently
contain collections of the objects and each of which could
be a basis for the region. In the sophisticated image
processing system it should be possible to apply specific
image processing operations to selected regions. Thus one
part of the image might be processed to suppress motion
blur while the another part might be processed to improve
color rendition.
VI.
Image enhancement:
It refers to accentuation, or sharpening, of image
features such as the boundaries, or contrast to make the
graphic display more useful for display & analysis. This
process will not increase the inherent information content
in the data. It also includes gray level sharpening, filtering,
interpolation and magnification, the pseudo coloring, and
the so on.
VII.
Image restoration
This is concerned with filtering a observed image
to minimize the effect of degradations. effectiveness of the

Enhancing images
In the computer graphics, The process of
improving the quality of the digitally stored image is by
manipulating the image with software and also it is quite
easy, for the example, to make the image lighter or
darker and to increase or decrease the contrast. The
advanced photo enhancement software is also supports the
many filters for altering a images in various ways. The
programs will be specialized for the image enhancement
and are sometimes called as image editors.
X.
Image restoration
The image restoration is an operation of taking the
corrupted/noisy image with estimating the clean original
image. The corruption may also come in many forms such
as the motion blur,noise and the camera misfocus.
The image restoration is the different from the
image enhancement in that the latter is designed to
emphasize the features of the image that make the image
more pleasing to the observer, but not necessarily to
produce the realistic data from the scientific point of view.
Image enhancement techniques are provided by "imaging
packages" use the no priority model of the process that
created the image with image enhancement noise can
effectively be removed by the sacrificing some resolution
and this is not only the acceptable in the many
applications. In the fluorescence microscope resolution in

the z-direction is of the bad as it is. The more advanced
image processing is only the techniques which are must be
applied to recover the object. The De convolution is the
example of the image restoration method and it is the
capable of increasing the resolution, especially in the axial
direction removing the noise increasing the contrast. The
purpose of an image restoration is to "compensate for" or
"undo" defects which degrade an image.A degradation
comes in many of the forms such as the motion blur, noise,
and camera misfocus.
In all the cases like motion blur, it is possible to
come up with the very good estimate of the actual blurring
function and undo the blur to restore an original image. In
the cases where the image is corrupted by noise and the
best we may hope to do is to compensate the degradation as
it caused. In this project, we will introduce it and
implement the several of the methods used in the image
processing world to restore images.

Wavelet theory
XIV.
Wavelet theory is applicable for several subjects
and all wavelet transforms may be considered for forms
of the time-frequency representation for the continuous
time-scale signals and so are related to the harmonic
analysis. Almost useful discrete wavelet transforms use
discrete time filter banks. These filter banks are called as
the wavelet and scaling coefficients in the wavelets
nomenclature.
These filter banks would contain either finite
impulse response or infinite impulse response filters. The
wavelets are forming the continuous wavelet transform
are subject to uncertainty and principle of fourier analysis
respective sampling theory given a signal with some event
in it,
one cannot assign the exact time and the
frequency response scale to the event. The product of the
uncertainties of time and the frequency response scale has
the lower bound. Thus, in the scalogram of the continuous
wavelet transform of this signal, such an event marks the
entire region in the time-scale plane, instead of the one
point. Also, the discrete wavelet bases may be considered
in the context of other forms of the uncertainty principle.

Peak signal-to-noise ratio (psnr)
In the image processing, signal-to-noise ratio is
defined in different way. Here, the numerator is a square of
the peak value the signal could have and the denominator
which equals the noise power (noise variance).For an
example, the 8-bit image has values ranging between 0 and
255 and for psnr calculations,the numerator is 2552 in all
cases.
