A vector enhancement of Said and Pearlman's Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) methodology, named VSPIHT, has recently been proposed for embedded wavelet image co...
A scalable video coder cannot be equally efficient over a wide range of bit-rates unless both the video data and the motion information are scalable. We propose a wavelet-based, h...
We present a novel 3-D scalable compression method for medical images with optimized volume of interest (VOI) coding. The method is presented within the framework of interactive te...

In this paper, we introduce to the special domain of image annotation watermarking, based on embedding of hierarchical data related to objects into user-selected areas on an image...
Originally, the hierarchical coding structure was proposed to achieve temporal scalability. Soon after, it was realized that with a proper quantization parameter cascading (QPC) s...
