Image compression is one of the prominent topics in image processing that plays a very important role in reducing image size for real-time transmission and storage. Many of the standards recommend the use of DWT for image compression. The computational complexity of DWT imposes a major challenge for the real-time use of DWT-based image compression algorithms. In this paper, the authors propose a modified lifting scheme for computing the approximation and detailed coefficients of DWT.
