Intra and inter-band information evaluation in still image coding by means of the wavelet transform

Abstract

A new method for still image coding that tries to exploit intra and inter-band relations in the wavelet-transformed matrix is presented. An intuitive study of the relation between coefficients is done. The conclusion is that it is more important to exploit intra-band relations than inter-band relations. Results achieved are even better than those obtained with the best embedded published algorithms.
