Abstract / truncated to 115 words (read the full abstract)

The objectives of the research were to develop embedded and non-embedded lossy coding algorithms for images based on lattice vector quantisation and the discrete wavelet transform. We also wanted to develop context-based entropy coding methods (as opposed to simple first order entropy coding). The main objectives can therefore be summarised as follows: (1) To develop algorithms for intra and inter-band formed vectors (vectors with coefficients from the same sub-band or across different sub-bands) which compare favourably with current high performance wavelet based coders both in terms of rate/distortion performance of the decoded image and also subjective quality; (2) To develop new context-based coding methods (based on vector quantisation). The alternative algorithms we have developed fall ...
