Optimum wavelet thresholding based on structural similarity quality assessment for FFT-OFDM

Transmission of compressed image data over Gaussian wireless channel using OFDM scheme is addressed. A wavelet thresholding technique based on automatic image quality assessment is proposed. Structural similarity quality assessment of image, which was proved to be highly conformed with the human visual evaluation, is utilized to obtain an optimum tradeoff between the compression ratio and image quality.
