An improvement of embedded zerotree wavelet coding based on compressed sensing

Abstract

Embedded zero-tree wavelet (EZW) is a kind of image compression algorithm which provides high compression rates fast. In order to improve the quality of reconstructed image after decoding, in this research, we put forward an improvement of embedded zerotree wavelet coding and simulate this new algorithm. This method takes full advantages of the Compressed Sensing (CS) theory and EZW. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method improved the quality of the unzipped image significantly.
