Abstract

This paper proposes a new image compression system with an optimal spline-wavelet transform based on adaptive directional lifting and an improved Embedded zero-tree wavelet (EZW) coding algorithm. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated using objective and subjective criteria. Experimental results have shown promising performance compared with the results obtained by the JPEG2000 standard.
