A three-dimensional (3-D) image-compression algorithm based on integer wavelet transforms and zerotree coding is presented. The embedded coding of zerotrees of wavelet coefficients (EZW) algorithm is extended to three dimensions, and context-based adaptive arithmetic coding is used to improve its performance. The resultant algorithm, 3-D CB-EZW, efficiently encodes 3-D image data by the exploit...

This paper deals with a universal coding problem for a certain kind of multiterminal source coding system that we call the complementary delivery coding system. Both fixed-to-fixed length and fixed-to-variable length lossless coding schemes are considered. Explicit constructions of universal codes and bounds of the error probabilities are clarified via type-theoretical and graph-theoretical ana...

This paper presents a new approach to the adaptation of a wavelet filterbank based on perceptual and rate-distortion criteria. The system makes use of a wavelet-packet transform where each subband can have an individual time-segmentation. Boundary effects can be avoided by using overlapping blocks of samples and therefore switching bases is possible at every tree-level without affecting other s...
