A tutorial survey is presented of the quadtree and related hierarchical data structures. They
are based on the principle of recursive decomposition. The emphasis is on the …

Introduction to Data Compression, Fifth Edition, builds on the success of what is widely
considered the best introduction and reference text on the art and science of data …

A progressive image transmission scheme which combines transform coding with the
human visual system (HVS) model is developed. The adaptive transform coding of WH Chen …

An interactive image communication system is described transmitting image information
stored in a central database over low-bitrate channels. To shorten the transmission time, a …

We discuss a unified framework of representation of signals using polynomial spline basis
functions and wavelets. The emphasis is on signal processing interpretation of these …

A review of various pyramid data structures for progressive image transmission, focusing on
the steps involved in forming the pyramid and the performance comparisons, is presented …

This paper describes two ways of improving Burt and Adelson's Laplacian pyramid, a
technique developed for image compression. The Laplacian pyramid is a multi-resolution …

A progressive image transmission scheme in which vector quantization is applied to images
represented by pyramids is proposed. A mean pyramid representation of an image is first …

Progressive image transmission (PIT) is an elegant method for making effective use of
communication bandwidth. Unlike conventional sequential transmission, an approximate …

In this paper, we introduce a formal model which describes consistently levels of detail and
regions of interest for the progressive transmission of raster images. This model serves as …
