Abstract—The advantages of processing images on hexagonal lattice are higher degree of circular symmetry, uniform connectivity, greater angular resolution, and a reduced need of storage and computation in image processing operations. In this work a comparison of DCT based Image compression on hexagonal and rectangular sampling grid is performed. DCT based image compression is performed on both rectangular domain and hexagonal domain using alternate pixel suppressal method. Mean Square Error and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio is considered for the performance analysis. Compression on hexagonal domain gives better results compared to compression on rectangular domain 
