Figure 18.3 Pyramidal structure of 5-level wavelet decomposition and chunk division for Lena.
The variance metadata are quantized into integers and then encoded by Exponential-
Golomb codes. After this step, they are transmitted using 1/2 rate channel coding,
QPSK, and STBC. The chunk division details are shown in Figure 18.3. The 10 upper
left wavelet bands correspond to 10 chunks, while each of the remaining 6 bands is
split into several chunks of equal size. The chunks in the upper-left corner are smaller
than the others because there are fewer coefficients in the lowest-frequency band, and
coefficients from
