Multimedia communication systems using super high definition (SHD) images are widely desired in various communities such as medical imagery, digital museum, digital libraries and so on. There are, however, many requirements in SHD image communication systems, because of high pixel accuracy and high resolution of a SHD image. We considered mandatory functions that should be realized in SHD image application systems, as summarized to three items, i.e, reversibility, scalability and progressibility. This paper proposes an SHD image communication systems based on reversibility, scalability and progressibility. To realize reversibility and progressibility, a lossless wavelet transform coding method is introduced as a coding model. To realize scalability, a partially decodable entropy code is proposed. Especially, we focus on a partially decodable coding method for realizing the scalability function in this paper.
