Design and Implementation of a Multistage Image Compression and Reconstruction System Based on the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit Using FPGA

Due to the vast developments in the media communication field and the quality of the visual imaging, image data compression has been one of the most interesting field. The main purpose of the image compression is to produce a very low bit rate while achieving a high quality of the reconstructed images. Image compression are used for all fields of media communication such as medical image recognition, multimedia, digital image processing. There are different algorithms for compression and reconstruction. One of these methods is the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit that is used mainly in the reconstruction of the radar signal. This paper discloses a new methodology for image compression and reconstruction to enhance the performance while at the same time reducing the bit data size. This kind of reconstruction algorithm is based upon multistage compression and OMP reconstruction. The Matlab Simulation and the FPGA implementation will be provided in this paper to validate the concept of this paper.
