Abstract

A simple embedded lossless wavelet-based image coding algorithm called Successive Partition Zero Coder (SPZC), which uses hybrid bit scanning and non-causal adaptive context modelling, is proposed. By successive partition the wavelet coefficients in the spatial-frequency domain, the coefficients are ordered based on their absolute range. The prioritized coefficients are quantized in a successive approximation manner to generate a binary sequence, which is divided into subsources and encoded by arithmetic coder with non-causal adaptive context modelling. This method is suited for progressive image transmission (PIT). Experimental results show that SPZC outperforms other state-of-the-art coders such as SPIHT, CREW and LJPEG, but slightly inferior to ECECOW and CALIC in lossless mode. SPZC is simple in both context modelling and implementation.
