Image Compression Using DCT Transform

Resource Overview

A small MATLAB program for image compression using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), marking my first MATLAB programming project

Detailed Documentation

This is a compact program that performs image compression using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). The implementation applies DCT to image blocks, quantizes the frequency coefficients, and reconstructs the image with reduced storage requirements. Key functions include dct2() for forward transformation and idct2() for inverse transformation. This program demonstrates fundamental image processing techniques while serving as my introductory MATLAB project, providing valuable hands-on experience in understanding both digital image compression algorithms and programming fundamentals.
