Abstract

A listless minimum zerotree coding algorithm based on the fast lifting wavelet transform with lower memory requirement and higher compression performance is presented in this paper. Most state-of-the-art image compression techniques based on wavelet coefficients, such as EZW and SPIHT, exploit the dependency between the subbands in a wavelet transformed image. We propose a minimum zerotree of wavelet coefficients which exploits the dependency not only between the coarser and the finer subbands but also within the lowest frequency subband. And a ne listless significance map coding algorithm based on the minimum zerotree, using new flag maps and new scanning order different form Wen-Kuo Lin et al. LZC, is also proposed. A comparison reveals that the PSNR results of LMZC are higher than those of LZC, and the compression performance of LMZC outperforms that of SPIHT in terms of hard implementation.
