Abstract

Wavelet transform is becoming increasingly important in image compression applications because of its flexibility in representing nonstationary signals. In wavelet-based compression, coding performance can be improved by exploiting human visual system characteristics. In this paper, we propose an algorithm, optimal in the weighted mean square sense, to quantize the wavelet coefficients. The proposed algorithm provides a superior coding performance.
