A Progressive Image Transmission Method Based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)

In this paper, a wavelet-based progressive image transmission (PIT) scheme is proposed. Here a combined method is proposed to reduce the image browsing time. The proposed scheme transforms a digital image from spatial domain into frequency domain by using discrete wavelet transformation. For wavelet transformation phase we have used Haar wavelet transformation. But it is computationally rigorous. Using concurrent computing we have significantly reduced computation time overhead as well as transmission time. According to the experimental results, the proposed scheme provides the accuracy of reconstructed image and the image browsing time reduces significantly.
