Embedded lossy and lossless image compression based on integer wavelet transform with hybrid zerotree and bitplane coding

摘要

We present a coder that yields good quality images at very high compression rates. It performs embedded coding and can carry out both lossy and lossless compression, properties which are suitable for progressive transmission. It is based on an integer to integer wavelet transform, and uses augmented zerotrees with a hybrid technique that incorporates bitplane coding as well.
