Abstract

The combination of integer lifting wavelet transform with set partitioning in hierarchical trees algorithm has been widely used in the field of image compression. Based on this algorithm, the paper presents a image coding algorithm with lower memory and higher speed. The algorithm further takes human visual system into consideration and modifies SPIHT algorithm is according to the characteristic of weighted wavelet coefficients. Experiment result shows that, under the situation of low bit-rate, the new algorithm can prove the visual effect of reconstructed image at a certain degree. In addition, because the new algorithm has low memory requirement, the coding speed accelerates a lot. It has a very broad appliance future in the occasion of high desire of memory and speed.
