  With the development of human communications the usage of Visual
Communications has also increased. The advancement of image compression methods
is one of the main reasons for the enhancement. This paper first presents main
modes of image compression methods such as JPEG and JPEG2000 without
mathematical details. Also, the paper describes gradient Haar wavelet
transforms in order to construct a preliminary image compression algorithm.
Then, a new image compression method is proposed based on the preliminary image
compression algorithm that can improve standards of image compression. The new
method is compared with original modes of JPEG and JPEG2000 (based on Haar
wavelet) by image quality measures such as MAE, PSNAR, and SSIM. The image
quality and statistical results confirm that can boost image compression
standards. It is suggested that the new method is used in a part or all of an
image compression standard.
