Image based surveillance is increasingly gaining importance both in martial and private applications. Development of advanced image compression algorithms which achieve higher CR than what is available now will greatly help in transmission of video or set of images with less delay in the time required for transmission in sensitive applications. Thus it is proposed to study image compression algorithms with a view to applying them in various applications so that a set or large number of images can be transmitted at the same time consuming lesser file size or storage space required. Hence there is a need to design and develop an efficient algorithm. To transmit the images or videos in large numbers, it takes more time for transmission due to the size of the files, also higher the size, higher the storage space required. Hence there is a need to design and develop an efficient algorithm which can reduce the size of the images to compress set of images for compression ratios higher than the present technologies 3-D, considering 64 frames at a time.
