Optimal representations in multitree dictionaries with application to compression

We generalize our results of [8, 9] and propose a new framework of multitree dictionaries which include many previously proposed dictionaries as well as many new, very large, treestructured dictionaries. We present an efficient, globally optimal algorithm to find the best tree in such a dictionary. We describe a novel block image coder based on our framework, which is an improvement over our image coder presented in [8].
