Source Encoding for Image Compression at Transmitter and Source Decoding for Image Reconstruction at Receiver

This MATLAB implementation demonstrates image compression via source encoding at the transmitter and image reconstruction through source decoding at the receiver, utilizing JPEG standard based on DCT transform. The project includes noise addition to test images followed by denoising, compression, and reconstruction to analyze compression performance. It explores downsampling and interpolation-based compression algorithms, with potential extensions from 8-bit/pixel grayscale to 24-bit/pixel color images or implementation of lossless compression techniques.
