Abstract

We are interested in lossless and progressive coding of multispectral images. To this respect, nonseparable vector lifting schemes are used in order to exploit simultaneously the spatial and the interchannel similarities. The involved operators are adapted to the image contents thanks to block-based procedures grounded on an entropy optimization criterion. A vector encoding technique derived from EZW allows us to further improve the efficiency of the proposed approach. Simulation tests performed on remote sensing images show that a significant gain in terms of bit rate is achieved by the resulting adaptive coding method with respect to the non-adaptive one.
