Abstract

The success in discrete cosine transform(DCT) image coding is mainly attributed to recognition of the importance of data organization and representation. In this paper, we proposed an embedded image coder based on quadtree set partition in DCT domain (EZDCT) which is suitable for many kinds of DCT coefficients reorganization schemes. The experimental results show that it is among the state-of-the-art DCT-based image coders when compared with the famous DCT-based image coders, such as EZDCT and MRDCT. For example, for the Barbara image, EQDCT outperforms JPEG EZDCT and MRDCT by 3.3,1.71,1.70 dB in peak-signal-to-noise ratio at 0.25 bpp, respectively.
