Recently, a new class of image coding algorithms (EWZ SPIHT) based on embedded zerotree method (EWZ) has appeared. Methods use zerotree-structured quantization of subbands. These algorithms were developed and tested on optical images. The authors investigated their behaviour on amplitudinal syntheti...
