Increase in the use of images in the continuous expansion of multimedia applications has increased the demand for efficient techniques that can store and transmit visual information. This demand has made image compression a vital factor. This work proposes compression techniques for compound images. For this purpose, the primary goal was set as "to develop compression schemes that can compress color compound images quickly, which can reduce the compression rate, while maintaining a good level of visual quality in a secure fashion." Here two types of segmentation techniques (i) layer-based...
