What's Your Sign? Efficient Sign Coding for Embedded Wavelet Image Coding

Wavelet transform coe cients are de ned by both a magnitude and a sign. While promising algorithms exist for e ciently coding the transform coe cient magnitudes [7, 13, 9, 8, 11], current wavelet image coding algorithms are not e cient at coding the sign of the transform coe cients. It is generally assumed that there is no compression gain to be obtained from entropy coding of the sign. Only re...
