The three-dimensional(3-D) SPIHT coder is a scalable or embedded coder that has proved its efficiency and its real-time capability in compression of video. A forward-error-correcting(FEC) channel(RCPC) code combined with a single automatic repeat request(ARQ) proved to be an effective means for protecting the bitstream. There were two problems with this scheme: the noiseless reverse channel ARQ may not be feasible in practice; and, in the absence of channel coding and ARQ, the decoded sequence was hopelessly corrupted even for relatively clean channels. In this paper, we introduce a new method of partitioning wavelet coefficients into spatio-temporal(s-t) tree blocks to achieve error resilience.
