ABSTRACT
Image compression is process to remove the redundant information from the image so that essential information can be stored to
reduce the storage size, transmission bandwidth and transmission time. The vital information is extracted by various transforms
techniques such that it can be reconstructed without losing quality and information of the image. Ant colony algorithm performs
much better than the standalone JPEG based DCT algorithms in terms of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) as well as visual
perception at higher compression ratio. The popular JPEG standard is commonly used in digital cameras and web based image
delivery. Currently many image compression algorithms are used to deal with increasing amount of data involved but still
finding the alternative solution is the area of research. This paper provides an insight of Ant Colony Optimization techniques
used for lossless image compression. Ant Colony Optimization algorithm is enthused by the behavior among real ants while
searching for the food source.

The ACO meta-heuristic consists of a colony of artificial Compression ratio can be defined as ratio of the size of
ants with the characteristics to search good solutions to original image to the compressed image
CR =OI/CI
various optimization problems. Artificial ants have been
where, CR = Compression Ratio
motivated by the real ones although they can be enriched
with some capabilities which are not found in real ants. OI = Original Image, CI= Compressed Image
Some similarities with real ants are the existence of a colony
of cooperating individuals pheromone trail and stigmergy
and the task of finding the shortest path between the nest and
the source of food. There are two main differences are: (i)
artificial ants move from one discrete state to another (ii)
they have an internal memory of the search procedure.
Besides artificial ants deposit an amount of pheromone
which is a function of the quality of the solution found.
