Abstract: Digital-image compression can reduce the overall volume of the image by keeping the original image with the minimum degradation in the level of the reconstructed image quality; in other words, here, we speak about compression with loss. This work comes up with an improvement in an image compression method using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and neural networks. To improve this technique, we have added a new phase based on the Human Visual System (HVS) and the Weber-Fechner law to dynamically quantify the image signal. Such a new phase can improve the quality of compression by dynamically quantifying each pixel value of the original image compared to the values of the neighbour pixels according to a luminance detection threshold. This threshold is known as Weber constant.
