Wavelet-Based Image Compression
Abstract
In this chapter, we examine the implementations of several wavelet-based image compression schemes. We begin with the earliest, the embedded zerotree wavelet coder, and then look at an image coder based on set partitioning, and finally, we look at JPEG 2000—the latest image compression standard.

16.1 Overview
In this chapter, we examine the implementations of several wavelet-based image compression schemes. The wavelet decomposition is a space-frequency (or time-frequency) decomposition. In practice, this means that ...
