Zerotree Quantized Image Coding using Wavelet

Recently efficient image coding using zerotree have been proposed. In these methods, the locations of nonzero wavelet coefficient are enrolled with a tree structure, called zerotree, which ran exploit the self-similarity of the wavelet pyramid decomposition across different scales. These are very especially in low bit rate image coding. In this paper, two zerotree image rolling algorithm, EZW and SPHIT are briefly introduced, and a new zerotree searching scheme is proposed to emphasize the significance of a wavelet coefficient by its orientation as well as its scale.
