| dc.description.abstract | In this paper a neural network based image compression method is presented. Neural networks offer the potential for providing a novel solution to the problem of data compression by its ability to generate an internal data representation. Our network, which is an application of counter propagation network, accepts a large amount of image data, compresses it for storage or transmission, and subsequently restores it when desired. A new approach for reducing training time by reconstructing representative vectors has also been proposed. Performance of the network has been evaluated using some standard real world images. It is shown that the development architecture and training algorithm provide high compression ratio and low distortion while maintaining the ability to generalize and is very robust as well. | en_US |
