This paper introduces a new image compression method utilizing a combination of discrete cosine transform and least squares interpolation method. Presented is a discussion of the mathematical background, outline of the approach, complexity computations, pseudocode, and an explanation of how to implement the algorithm for applications that require the coded bits to be binary streams. We then provide the results, including comparisons to many recently published works. The results indicate positive progress and effectiveness of the new approach in terms of comparability to other works and applicability in real time applications.
