Improving Embedded Image Coding Using Zero Block - Quad Tree

The traditional multi-bitstream approach to the heterogeneity issue is very constrained and inefficient under multi bit rate applications. The multi bitstream coding techniques allow partial decoding at a various resolution and quality levels. Several scalable coding algorithms have been proposed in the international standards over the past decade, but these former methods can only accommodate relatively limited decoding properties. To achieve efficient coding during image coding the multi resolution compression technique is been used. To exploit the multi resolution effect of image, wavelet transformations are devolved. Wavelet transformation decompose the image coefficients into their fundamental resolution, but the transformed coefficients are observed to be non-integer values resulting in variable bit stream. This transformation result in constraint bit rate application with slower operation. To overcome stated limitation, hierarchical tree based coding were implemented which exploit the relation between the wavelet scale levels and generate the code stream for transmission
