Set Partition Coding: Part I of Set Partition Coding and Image Wavelet Coding Systems

The purpose of this two-part monograph is to present a tutorial on set partition coding, with emphasis and examples on image wavelet transform coding systems, and describe their use in modern image coding systems. Set partition coding is a procedure that recursively splits groups of integer data or transform elements guided by a sequence of threshold tests, producing groups of elements whose magnitudes are between two known thresholds, therefore, setting the maximum number of bits required for their binary representation. It produces groups of elements whose magnitudes are less than a certain known threshold. Therefore, the number of bits for representing an element in a particular group is no more than the base-2 logarithm of its threshold
